Posted Sep 19 2007, 04:58 PM It's official, an Astroboy movie is in production! After years of rumors and speculation, Astro will finally be coming to us on the big screen. The movie, announced earlier this month, is being produced by Imagi studios, the same studio who brought us TMNT earlier in the year. The movie, like TMNT, is expected to be a full CGI animation, though we will have to wait until 2009 for its release.
