Check out the latest clip from “Astro Boy” released by Summit Entertainment and a new batch of images, including our first look at the robot Zog, voiced by Samuel L. Jackson. That is one huge robot, and definitely doesn’t look nearly “groovy” enough to be voiced by Sam The...

Those are five English words I never thought I’d string together. But this is Sci-Fi pilgrims and it isn’t always pretty. “Astro Boy” opens Oct 23rd and recounts the tale of a robot created by a grieving scientist to replace his dead son. Astro Boy is considered the first manga...
