Info from Summit's NYCC Presentation

A couple of websites have posted reports on the Astro Boy portion of Summit Entertainment's panel at NYCC. Along with a description of the footage shown, we now have a bit more of an idea of the plot of the film as it relates to the antagonist robot, Peacemaker, who seems to be powered by "Red Core" energy as opposed to Astro's blue energy. Plus, we have confirmation that Astro will indeed have his, ahem... butt cannons. Well, it just wouldn't be the same without 'em, right?

Check out the scoops from io9, MTV Splash Page and FilmBuffOnLine Newsreel.

Not sure that photography was allowed at the panel. I seriously doubt it, so don't count on seeing the video footage online any time soon.
