Imagi Animation Studio has revealed details of their plans to release an Astro Boy “CG-animated feature-length motion picture” in 2009. From their press release:

“The new Astro Boy feature will be based on an original story developed by Imagi’s US studio. Physical production will take place at Imagi’s state of the art Hong Kong animation studio. Along with its current CG-animation productions Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Gatchaman, Imagi will continue its technical and creative leadership in bringing comic book heroes to the big screen.”

2009?! Why tell us now? It means we have to wait longer. Oh well, I’ve nothing better to do anyway.
