Summit Entertainment is set to distribute Imagi Studios’ upcoming animated film “Astro Boy” in most countries around the world, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Based on a comic series by Osamu Tezuka, “Astro Boy” follows the adventures of a young robot created by a scientist to replace his late son.
Freddie Highmore, Nicholas Cage, Donald Sutherland, Bill Nighy, Eugene Levy and Nathan Lane have all signed on to voice the characters.
Timothy Harris (“Space Jam”) wrote the script, which David Bowers is directing. Bowers most recently helmed DreamWorks Animation’s “Flushed Away.”
Look for the release of “Astro Boy” sometime next year.
