Go, Go, Go, Astro Boy!

'Astro Boy' Trailer
There's a new trailer for the Astro Boy movie, and it's looking pretty cool (the butt guns are there!). Imagi did a pretty awesome job with TMNT, and this looks even better. I love Astro Boy, so I have high hopes for this movie. Apparently, the footage they showed at Comic-Con was well received, but I wonder how this will actually do at the box office. Do kids care about Astro Boy? Is the nostalgia factor strong enough for the adults who do know him?

And guess who made it into the movie?:

The man himself, pulling a Stan Lee! Just like he'd insert himself in his own manga.

Also, over at Japanator, they have a look at some of the toys (by Hot Toys) for the movie, which are also looking very nice and will probably end up on my bookshelf.
