I should have said this earlier, but it does not seem right to post full page scans of copyrighted manga that is licensed in English. Besides that, this thread is or at least was about the motion picture.

So please post no more of these scans.

How about this...
How about if we link to the page so that the commercial ad that rings their chimes can be seen? Since these are from a commercial site?

Like this....
That way, the guys that published the page register the hit and get their money! So no one can complain!
Have you seen the sponsors of these pages? The corporate power is fantastic! The money lining up beyond belief!

The entire manga is on there!

The entire manga is on there!

And that's right! As a Hollywood promotion. Every page indexed and spidered for search. But it is on commercial site other than that one...
Here is another...

The idea is to generate excitement among the fans to raise the millions it will cost to make the movie...

I totally agree with Cybotron -- and you know what? It WORKS. I own everyone and have shared with others. Sometimes giving people a "sample" or "trial run" of the whole thing sells more that holding back. That said, I understand Jeffbert's concern we are respectful of Tezuka productions copyright issues. A question of balance...as always!

These are not "Bootleg sites" but Tezuka is behind the promotion along with Universal to give away these free manga. Look at the ads! Those are the biggest advertisers around! Those guy's are making money with every hit! If it was not authorized the Copyright holders would be all over them!
They want you and need you drooling over Atom. Without fan lust and excitement the whole film project will collapse! Astroboy adult style. With violence murder and race hate! In every college. Manga style.

I was on TezukaProductions website and said about the annoucement on the film:

The announcement about turning “PLUTO” into a live-action movie was released.

On October 21, Illumination Entertainment (U.S.) announced that it would produce a live-action movie of PLUTO, a manga work authored by Naoki Urasawa and Takashi Nagasaki, adopted from one episode of Astro Boy titled“The Greatest Robot on Earth”.

The movie will be produced by Chiris Meledandri, a proficient producer in Hollywood. His latest movie “DESPUCABLE ME” was just released on the day. His other works includes Ice Age, Ice Age2, Robots, Horton Hears a Who, and The Simpsons Movie. Illumination Entertainment, founded by Mr. Meledandri, has an overall deal with Universal Studios.

Nothing new, but it surprised me it was from the guy who did Robots and Ice Age. But, it's got me a little worried now...

All the films Chris Meledandri have done are comedy based films, let's hope Pluto doesn't go down the same path.
