The cast is assembled and everyone is on hand while Principal Photography starts on TinTin.
Latino Review says:
Paramount Pictures and Sony Pictures Entertainment have announced the start of principal production in Los Angeles on the 3D Motion Capture Film “The Adventures of Tintin: Secret of the Unicorn,” directed by Steven Spielberg and 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.Bell and Craig are joined by an international cast that includes Andy Serkis, Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, Gad Elmaleh, Toby Jones and Mackenzie Crook.
I am waiting to see just how this is going to pan out. I was never a fan of the series (only vaguely knew it existed), and the cast intrigues me.
I imagine that the movie will be targeted at both the long time fan and those who have never see this character. Hopefully it works out well.
speaking of lame movies the new live action galaga movie is set to come out summer 2012
I can’t wait to see what Spielberg does with this. The book alone works as it is, but I have a gut feeling a lot of creative liberties are being taken.
I think it’d be great if they re-used the Tintin theme from the animated series. That music NAILED it.
Jamie Bell aye…
I thought that kid from ‘Love Actually’ had been cast in the role…?
yeah i thought so too, but looks like they changed!
and anyways that kid from love actually was just so short, so ugly, so young to be tintin!
it would suck balls man!
john,
In a preview for the site redo, there was a small article titled something like “why did Bolt fail”.
Is that a real blog post or just something done for the preview?
Looks very interesting to me…can’t wait to see some photos and/or footage.
if that is a real post, i would like to see it. Please post it up on themovieblog.
It was just something for the preview. Filler.
Bolt actually did alright, and I enjoyed it a great deal.
Used to love Tintin as a child, read many of the comic/books and watched the TV series.
Totally agree that they should bring back the same theme music, it really fitted the show and was great!
look forward to this flick
heres a link to the old theme music!

I’m sorry, but I think this is the film-version of soccer… or maybe the metric system. The rest of the world may love it, but I don’t foresee Americans sharing the love. I don’t think it’s that popular here. And they’re planning a trilogy, right? Worldwide B.O. will save the studio, but an abysmal domestic tally will kill the franchise. From the other side… I have predicted it.
I’ve heard the “this character isn’t known/ popular in the U.S., so the film is doomed…!” argument before, and I just don’t get it - if that held true, how do cartoons with *original* characters get sold/ made?? “Ohh, “Bolt”/ “Monsters Inc.”/ “Ice Age” are characters that are not known in the U.S., their films will flop…!” would be the order of the day.
And look at the films that bomb, or limp along when the U.S. *does* know the character - Punisher, Hulk, Ghost Rider, Superman (Returning), Hulk again, The Spirit, even Watchmen…
The movie will either work or it won’t, but give the audience a chance to see it, and work it out for themselves…
