My only experience with Astro Boy was that GBA game, tbh. Not sure what to think about it.

If you grew up during the late 80s/early 90s like me, you probably would be more familiar with the cartoon.

Apparently there was also an even earlier one from the 60s (which I haven't seen)

The animation looks like a Nick made for TV movie, it wasn't popular enough to demand and update or bring in nostalgia, and it has Nicolas Cage in it.

This movie's actually beginning to look tantalizing. I might see it, but that'll probably depend on what other people say about it.

The movie will first be released in Japan on the 10th, followed by the 15th in Australia and the 23rd in the U.S.

I really like 'Astro Boy'---that said, the preview I saw didn't really do anything for me, so who knows.

The real full trailer. (Pretty much reveals the whole plot...)
YouTube - ASTRO BOY - Trailer HD

Something on the video game...
YouTube - Astro Boy : The Video Game - Behind the Scenes Voice Over trailer

Yes, a video game is in the works as well.
Not really that surprising, but oh well.
