Imagi Animation Studios announced that Freddie Highmore will be providing the voice of Astro Boy in the upcoming CG-animated motion picture adapted from Osamu Tezuka’s manga of the same name.  The young english actor has build a solid track record playing the wide eye wonder kid in many family oriented films, the most recent is The Spiderwick Chronicles.  He is also no stranger to voice acting with roles in Arthur and the Invisibles and The Golden Compass.  Not a bad choice, I think he would fit perfectly as the heroic robot boy. 

Warner Bros. Pictures plans to release Astro Boy worldwide in 2009.
