If you hadn't guessed from my last post, I love Tintin. The books had an enormous impact on my interests in art, comics, and storytelling. It didn't surprise me at all when I found out that directors Steven Spielberg and Peter Jackson were both huge fans of Tintin growing up as well. It was even less surprising when I learned that the two directors where teaming up on Tintin movie. The film will be coming out in late 2011 and will follow the plots of three of Herge's Tintin books: "The Crab with the Golden Claws", "The Secret of the Unicorn", and "Red Rackham's Treasure."
The movie will be completely computer animated and in 3D. Spielberg was originally going to shoot the entire film live-action with only Snowy, Tintin's dog, being computer animated. After speaking with Peter Jackson about having his production company doing the animation, Steven was convinced by Peter that a live-action film would not do Tintin justice and that the entire film should be an animated film. Luckily for Tintin fans, Steven agreed.
Here is the latest trailer for the upcoming film The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn. (Reminder: this is computer-generated footage. There are no live actors or sets)
