Producer Maryann Garger and director David Bowers announced today that Freddie Highmore has signed on to voice ASTRO BOY in the upcoming CG-animated movie.
Set in futuristic Metro City, ASTRO BOY is about a young robot with incredible powers created by a brilliant scientist to replace the son he has lost. Unable to fulfill the grieving father’s expectations, our hero embarks on a journey in search of acceptance, experiencing betrayal and a netherworld of robot gladiators, before he returns to save Metro City and reconcile with the man who had rejected him.
Highmore’s previous films include The Spiderwick Chronicles, The Golden Compass, August Rush and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
