ASTRO BOY
Both MTV Splashpage and Sci Fi Wire had the opportunity to preview footage from the upcoming animated film. While MTV offers a brief overview of the film, saying it tells "the story of a scientist, Tenma (Nicolas Cage) who replaces his lost son with a powerful robot (Freddie Highmore), who must then come to terms with his own identity as both a child and a hero." Sci Fi Wire goes into greater detail, describing three clips. One clips features the birth of Astro Boy. "Hoses snake down from the ceiling, attach to the boy, haul him up, suspend him in midair. Blue lightning zaps all around, the robot falls, smashes equipment, lies inert," they describe.
Directed by David Bowers, release date: October 23, 2009
WATCHMEN: THE DIRECTOR'S CUT
Sci Fi Wire has a review of the Director's Cut Blu-Ray edition. Though they call it "less of a film--or an especially entertaining one, at least," they do praise the added detail, the Maximum Movie Mode Blu-Ray feature, and the second disc material. "Like, say, Stanley Kubrick, a director who aimed to subject his audience to an experience rather than manipulate their emotions, Snyder uses all of the devices of a conventional story to tell one that subverts virtually all of its conventions," they say of the expanded film.On DVD/Blu-Ray: July 28th, 2009
