Also on tap for Summit's big day at ComicCon is a presentation of "Astro Boy," featuring Freddie Highmore and Kristin Bell (who will be on hand at the presentation). Director David Bowers will debut footage and answer questions about "bringing this beloved superhero to the big screen." A CG-animated feature film, "Astro Boy" is based on the Manga series which "chronicles the futuristic adventures of a young robot with incredible powers and his exciting journey in search of his identity and his destiny." "Astro"'s panel runs from 10:45 a.m. to 11:15 a.m, also on July 23rd.
