Kristen Bell Talks Astro Boy

She played the hottie that got tagged by the nerd in Fan Boys to the somewhat bad ass villain in Heroes. Kristen Bell has already made her mark in comic geek utopia with out truly being in a ComicBookMovie. Until now.

Kristen Bell will lend her voice in "Astro Boy", which will be a 3-D movie from Imagi Studios. Bell voices a human roll opposite the film's title roll of our robot hero, but she says even though she doesn't have the lead, her character can stand on there own two feet.

“I play Cora, who is a girl who befriends Astro when he comes down from Metro City onto the surface of Earth,” Bell told Sci Fi Wire. “She runs a little kind of like Peter Pan group of kids. She’s pretty tough, pretty sassy.”

This is Kristen's first time outing with an "Astro Boy" material, but don't worry she has had plenty of time to get acquainted with the Astro Boy source material.

“I didn't know ‘Astro Boy’ at all, but now I’m immersed and have all the little toys and stuff,” she states.

Kristen Bell, being reported, as some fans wanting to see her in a Batman film has gotten the chance of being able to watch a pretty big chunk of "Astro Boy" already. Off course she has nothing but good things to say about it.

“It looks amazing,” Bell states. “To be involved in the process is really exciting, because you see the layers that they put on, and you see when they don’t have the 3-D involved and then when they do, and you see when it’s just penciled out. It was a really interesting process.”

Bell also enjoyed the voice recording process as well.

“Sometimes when another character comes in and records and they like something they have done, you have to match it or be at a comparable state of mind in the scene, because you don’t record with other people." “Overall, it was a really easy, fun process.”

Well she is definitely a looker. I enjoyed Ms. Bell in Fanboys, and some what on Heros. I'm sure she will do just fine in Astro Boy.
