More TINTIN Images From Spielberg And Jackson!!

Got freshly scanned images for you (filmsactu via /Film) from that Empire Magazine edition that is featuring director Steven Spielberg's and producer Peter Jackson's THE ADVENTURES OF TINTIN: THE SECRET OF THE UNICORN!

Click images to enlarge...

The first shot has Thompson and Thompson (twins played by Simon Pegg and Nick Frost) with the pickpocket thief Silk (played by Toby Jones).

The second photo has Barnaby (played by Joe Starr) is a decidedly film noir scene! LOVE it. Oh man is this thing going to look great in 3D. I wish I could have seen Thomas Jane's DARK COUNTRY as it was a live action film noir in 3D - but Sony didn't theatrically distribute it. But I digress...

Finally we have a shot of the trio marching through a desert with bleached bones by their side - not the best omen of things to come!

TINTIN is set to hit theaters Christmas 2011 (USA / Canada) and various dates in October/November 2011 for European countries.

Note that these characters remain faithful to the designs of Hergé which I believe is key to winning the hearts of overseas markets, especially Europe. Stunning work! Hats off to those involved - you know who you are. *cough* Weta :-)

More when I get it!
