News: Astro-Boy flies to Summit
Variety reports that ASTRO-BOY, the upcoming big-screen version of the famous franchise character, will be distributed by Summit Entertainment instead of previously announced Warner Brothers. Summit will handle all territories except for Japan, Hong Kong, and China.
The computer-generated movie, based on the character created by Osamu Tezuka, was scripted by Timothy Harris for director David Bowers. Nicolas Cage, Donald Sutherland, Nathan Lane, Bill Nighy, and Eugene Levy provide voices, with Freddie Highmore taking the title role - a robot created by a scientist in the image of his son, who died in a lab accident.
This is the second CG movie from Hong Kong’s Imagi Studios, which previously produced TMNT.
