Before I post my thoughts on TINTIN (can you believe I haven't had time to see it yet!) - what did you think? Even our European friends - chime in. I know you have been holding back spoilers for us for a long time! All's fair in the comments section!!
I am DYING to see it, so I'm off to the cinema tomorrow! Obviously I won't be reading the comments until AFTER the movie... :-)
Finally the day has come... errr overseas anyway! THE ADVENTURES OF TINTIN: THE SECRET OF THE UNICORN has hit the big screens in Europe and the high-jinx has commenced! Check out the UK "Live the adventure" interactive trailer here.
TINTIN opens in North America on December 23.
Here's the street marketing video clip:
Here's the new Featurette:
So cool - can't wait for our turn!!
Oh man is this thing going to be good. Spielberg and Jackson are turning up the wattage with each subsequent clip release! My only worry now is seeing too much before getting the big screen in front of me.
Part of the reason that we are getting such great exposure to the movie is because THE ADVENTURE OF TINTIN: THE SECRET OF THE UNICORN opens next week overseas. We have to wait until December 21 in North America but of course we are all part of the same Internet so those cool marketing trailers and such are part of our lives too.
So prepare to be wowed by this new trailer guys. It will knock you out!
More when I get it!
Wow! This new trailer for Steven Spielberg and Peter Jackson's THE ADVENTURES OF TINTIN: THE SECRET OF THE UNICORN looks stunning!! Amazing detail and the faces seem to be improving with every look.
We knew all along that TINTIN was kind of like a European Indiana Jones but now that we can see more action sequences I am suitably impressed. Now imagine that in 3D on the big screen! Oh yeah. Can't wait...
Here's the storyline:
Paramount Pictures and Columbia Pictures Present a 3D Motion Capture Film THE ADVENTURES OF TINTIN directed by Steven Spielberg from a screenplay by Steven Moffat and Edgar Wright & Joe Cornish. Starring Jamie Bell (BILLY ELLIOT , DEFIANCE) as Tintin, the intrepid young reporter whose relentless pursuit of a good story thrusts him into a world of high adventure, and Daniel Craig (QUANTUM OF SOLACE , DEFIANCE) as the nefarious Red Rackham.
If you will remember, I had TINTIN as my number 1 anticipated 3D movie of 2011 - and that still remains intact. More when I get it!!
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!
