ASTRO BOY Comic Con Panel 2009

The Comic Con 2009 Panel of ASTRO BOY opened with a bang with a first look at the trailer of the movie.
I thought that the trailer looked OK and that the animation was pretty lively to say the least. I was not crazy about the graphics as a whole so I am not sure if this is going to make me want to watch it but overall the trailer was pretty cool.
In addition, there were two pieces of news that were disclosed. Charlize Theron and Samuel L. Jackson will be joining the cast of voice actors of Astro Boy.

ASTRO BOY Teaser Movie Trailer (2009)

Summit Entertainment has released a teaser trailer for their new movie, ASTRO BOY.
I think it's safe to say that with the success of Twilight, Summit Entertainment is now on the map, so I'm curious to see how their upcoming movies will fare next to that.
Did I mention I'm a fan of animation movies? Although, I am waiting to see more of Astro Boy because it looks like it might be geared towards children a little too much for. If that's the case, I might have to skip it in theaters.
That said the visuals look really good, at least from the teaser trailer.
Astro Boy comes out to theaters on October 23, 2009.
Watch the teaser trailer for Astro Boy below. Do you think it's going to be worth watching in theaters?
