Date: 10/9/2008
Veronica Mars star Kristen Bell and British comedian Matt Lucas have joined the vocal cast of Imagi Studios’ computer animated feature film based on Osamu Tezuka’s Astro Boy. Ms. Bell, who also starred in the popular comedy Forgetting Sarah Marshall, joins a cast that includes Nicholas Cage (Ghost Rider), Donald Sutherland (Pride & Prejudice), and Freddie Highmore (The Spiderwick Chronicles).



Imagi’s Astro Boy will open in North America on 3000 screens on October 23, 2009 (see “Astro Boy on 3000 Screens”)—a very wide opening for an animated feature made outside the U.S. (Imagi is based in Hong Kong).
