Samual L. Jackson, a self professed anime fan, is going to do a cameo voice over in the upcoming CGI adaptation of Osamu Tezuka's groundbreaking manga "Astro Boy." The production of the film has been plagued with screenplay issues, budget concerns, and the fact that anime based Hollywood films have yet to really provide us with a solid hit ("Transformers" being the rare exception).
Summit Entertainment made the announcement at their panel at the San Diego Comic Con, but failed to mention which role he would play. The film also stars Freddie Highmore as Astro Boy and Kristen Bell as Cora. The film is expected to be released October 23rd (hopefully this time the date will stick).
