quoted article from Empire Online: "Imagi Animation Studios are hard at work bringing the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles back to our screens. But as well as the heroes in a half-shell, the company has nabbed the rights to a beloved chunk of anime.

Yes, Astro Boy is getting the big screen treatment. From his beginnings in a 1953 manga series to the 1963 Japanese TV show, the adventures of the human-sized boy robot Atom and his attempts to save the world while learning to fit in with his peers have become a cult favourite.

Imagi’s Hong Kong studio will handle the new CG ‘toon, which is aimed at a 2009 release date."

Fair warning to all, as soon as I clicked on the link I started to get virus warnings. Probabally nothing, but I wanted to mention it just in case.

Hearing about an Astro Boy movie really makes me want to see a Megaman/Megaman X movie. (more so the latter as that series actually had a story. :D ) I have to admit I didn't read the article, I was more concerned with getting the page closed, but did it say whether it was going to be live-action or animated?

Geez, really sorry man my antivirus mentioned nothing suspicious at all (I wouldn't have touched it, let alone put a link to it if I'd known). If this persists, I'll send an e-mail to the site.

I pasted all the text into the opening thread bar a picture, so I'll delete the link just in case. Thanks for the warning. As for the medium, it's CG :thumbsup:

No prob, I'm sure it wasn't intentional, and it was probabally just a case of my scanner doing its job too well. I've had the stupid thing go off because of cookies and .obj files.. :shrug: But better safe then sorry, right?

Back on topic:
I was never really an Astro Boy fan when it was playing oh so early in the morning, but I didn't dislike it, and I'm really looking foward to seeing what kind of visual style they are using.

.OBJ FILES??? Well, it's a good thing you're not a CG artist then, that would be so annoying!! :D What proggie do you use, it sounds great!! I use AVG and I'd wager I have tons of viruses but the blasted thing doesn't pick up on 'em.

Well, at risk of hijacking this thread, I use NOD32. It updates its definitions 2-3 times a day. Pretty impressive is you ask me.
