Cool News
ASTRO BOY will speak with a familiar voice...
Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. This news hit late last night when I was finally getting back home after nearly 13,000 miles of travel over 2 weeks. I'm a little on the tired side, but I know there are a lot of ASTRO BOY fans out there, so I figured I'd post the news.
ASTRO BOY is being done as an animated film... you know that, I'm sure. Now you know who's going to voice the lad! Hollywood's goto kid actor these days (sorry Haley Joel Osment) has it locked up, Mr. Freddie Highmore. He's done this before, voicing the lead in Luc Besson's ARTHUR AND THE INVISIBLES as well as Lyra's daemon in GOLDEN COMPASS.
Thoughts?

Wow, I cócked you all tonight, didnt I?
-
fourth
-
anyways... Haley Joel Osment gotta eat!
-
outside of us boomers? or are they betting on the new manga craze...and will they leave in the origin, with his scientist father going nuts cuz he will always be a boy???
-
Wow...an impressive achievement. No doubt the highlight of your life.
-
You know the porn moguls are rubbing their hands with glee. Or rubbing something anyway...
-
He's fucking twenty for Christ sakes! That aint exactly a "kid"...
-
Petty? Possible. Juvenile? Definitely. But FIRST, like "gotta eat" is a time-honored AICN tradition, the yardstick by which superior, timely movie-geeks assert their áss-raping superiority over lesser, peasant movie-geeks (read: you). Listen matey - you're at an aintitcool.com board, which automatically makes you a slobbering, immature dork just like all the other primates here. Don't come to Geek Central and act all holier-than-thou. That won't do. Look at Odo19, up there in the 4th spot, he knows it's a game and plays along (and Odo? Coulda taken 4th, but I had shot my wad and was done).
So accept it, take it, loosen up & swallow. Tsk, tsk, no fidgeting, Zacdilone. Ah, there's a good lad, all the way in it goes. -
a short lived and cult fad, but i like it.
-
when it was called "A.I." (This is where you'll start to hear cries of 'Astro boy came before A.I. You ignorant slut'.. treat me mean baby... I like it.)
-
He's dead tired, but too stoned to care.
-
he's a pretty decent actor given his age then again Kid actors (to me)are all fairly interchangeable...
-
Although he's going through puberty and hopefully they can do it before his voice changes...
-
I would hardly call him a "lad" anymore. Kids like 20 now I think, certainly much older than Highmore at 16.
-
"A familiar voice"? Not familiar to me.
-
I'm glad this thing looks like it's being treated better than it initially was, because I do think it deserves it. I really hope it turns out great. I am not fully convinced yet that it will though, but this is another piece of encouraging news. I don't know too much about it, just that I used to watch the cartoon when I was a kid and feeling sad. Sad memories.

Who will win? Who mill meander around while they go through puberty to emerge as the star the biggest Trilogy this side of Star Wars. Or who will succumb, to advances from creepy older men such as Ted Denson and Michael Jackson to loose their wealth and become batshit crazy?
Josh Hutcherson vs. Freddie Highmore. Now all we need is a children’s epic tale that has two brothers going at it to bring these two together. Who'd a think that The Good Son was a prediction of the future?
