You've got to hand it to Paramount, they have dominated the news cycle at the beginning of this week with news, reviews, posters, a new trailer and interviews centered on their upcoming animated feature The Adventures of Tintin, co-produced by Steven Spielberg and Peter Jackson with Spielberg taking the director's chair on this first installment. I'll begin with the early reviews as The Hollywood Reporter, Variety and Indiewire lavish praise on the film, suggesting we're in store for "one thrilling set-piece after another" "with subtle finesse throughout, exploiting 3D's potential just enough to make the action scenes that much more effective without overdoing it" resulting in "a good ol' fashioned adventure flick that harkens back to the [Steven Spielberg]'s action-packed, tongue-in-cheek swashbucklers of the 1980s." Of course, the film doesn't hit stateside theaters until December 21, so we're talking about praise that's going to have to stick around for some time. No worries,...

It would seem anticipation for Steven Spielberg's The Adventures of Tintin is growing with every new trailer released so is it wrong to assume this latest international trailer will be any different? Of course, there is also that pesky doubt improved trailers can pose as we learned from Green Lantern earlier this year. However, when a new trailer for a Spielberg film begins conjuring comparisons to the filmmakers earlier and much loved work I think it's safe to assume people are liking it for what they're seeing, not for what they've been duped into perceiving.
With that I give you the latest UK trailer for Tintin, which is set to hit theaters on December 21, although it will be arriving across the pond on October 26 as the Us and Canada will be among the last territories to see it... outside of our readers in Brazil who will have to wait...

Paramount Pictures has released a new international movie trailer for the Peter Jackson-produced Steven Spielberg-directed performance capture animated adaptation of The Adventures of Tintin. If you were skeptical after the initial teaser trailer, this full length preview might just win you over. Its great to actually see more action this time around. I have to admit, the action sequences feel more like a modern Indiana Jones film than Crystal Skull. Watch the trailer now embedded after the jump. Please leave your thoughts in the comments below.

If you haven't been paying attention the last few years, let me explain how huge a project Tintin seems to be. A joint production between Steven Spielberg and Peter Jackson, Tintin uses revolutionary motion capture technology. Apparently the character is huge outside the Us, and fans everywhere have been curious of what Spielberg and Jackson have been doing. The film has a huge price tag and, if this one makes bank, Peter Jackson will be directing the sequel. A lot hinges on this film's success. But does the first footage show the next Avatar, or just another Robert Zemeckis abortion?
First of all, just this minute and a half alone points to a better looking film then what Zemeckis would vomit up. Hell, it's not even apparent that the film is CGI until half way in. You can't really deny that the film doesn't look good and polished (but this...

Paramount Pictures has released the first teaser trailer for the Peter Jackson-produced Steven Spielberg-directed performance capture animated adaptation of The Adventures of Tintin. I think its interesting that it doesn't become obvious that this is a computer animated film until about 30 seconds in. Its also interesting that the "Secret of the Unicorn" subtitle has been removed, but I guess The Adventures of Tintin is simpler and easier to sell (and they'll need all the help they can get to sell it in the Us market). While Tintin is incredibly popular in international territories, the character is rather unknown in the states. And the problem with this teaser trailer is that it doesn't explain much -- it doesn't explain who Tintin is. At the teaser trailer stage, the performance capture computer rendered animation looks better than most of the Robert Zemeckis-helmed projects. I suppose this will play in...

Sneak Peek the cover to UK Magazine "Empire", showcasing your first look @ director Steven Spielberg's stop-motion feature "The Adventures Of Tintin: The Secret Of The Unicorn".
The 3D comics adaptation is produced by Peter Jackson, featuring the voices/capture performances of Jamie Bell ('Tintin') , Daniel Craig ('Red Rackham'), Andy Serkis ('Captain Haddock'), Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, Gad Elmaleh, Toby Jones, Mackenzie Crook, Carey Elwes and Daniel Mays.
"The first part of the film, which is the most mysterious part, certainly owes much to not only film noir but the whole German Brechtian theatre," said Spielberg. "Some of our night scenes and our action scenes are very contrasty. But at the same time the movie is a hell of an adventure."
First reported by Sneak Peek.Ca in a scoop November 2006, Spielberg's long-gestating plan to adapt the "Tintin" adventures, specifically "The Secret Of The Unicorn", finally started production January 2009, as...

Spielberg.s 2011 release of 'The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn' (set to hit American Theaters in 2011) while debate and debacle ensue in Europe. Tintin introduced by Hergé on January 10, 1929; a cartoon which is well known to be undoubtedly the most popular cartoon of the 20th century, and their adventures have been translated into more than 50 languages. Although Hollywood demands the best stories to be told via film or animation; at any price, anger and disgust among thousands of European Tintin fans currently threaten to boycott Spielberg's big-screen adaptations in upcoming European releases.

"Tintin" is on the move.

Oscar-winning director Steven Spielberg's company Dreamworks is set to bring beloved animated series Tintin to the big screen. The film giant has reportedly committed to making at least one film featuring the intrepid Belgian boy reporter, although it has not yet been decided which of the 24 comic books will be adapted for the project. Nick Rodwell, head of Herge Studios which was set up by Tintin creator George Remis in 1950, confirms the company will go into pre-production on a film scheduled for release in 2009. He says, "If movie number one works, we will continue." Tintin first appeared in a Belgian children's newspaper in 1929. It went on to become a comic book series and an animated TV show.
