We already know that, the posters for the movie ‘The Adventures of Tintin: The secret of the Unicorn’ has been officially unveiled. Now it’s time for another exciting news. The first official trailer has been released at the iTunes Movie Trailer site! Watch Tintin, Snowy, Captain Haddock, Thomson and Thompson in action in the following trailer!
Spielberg and Tintin – what a combination! And this time they both are back! I am waiting …
I was waiting for a l-o-n-g time for the first poster of the ‘The Adventures of Tintin: The secret of the Unicorn’. And the wait is finally over! The first two official posters for the Peter Jackson/Steven Spielberg production of the Tintin movie has been unveiled. The script for the movie is actually based on three Tintin comics: ‘The Crab with the Golden Claws‘, ‘The Secret of the Unicorn‘ and it’s sequel ‘Red Rackham’s Treasure‘.
The movie is slated for a December 23th release in the USA. But the European release is set to take place in October/November, earlier than USA! Nevertheless, being a Tintin fan for a long long time, I can’t wait to watch the movie! By the way, following is the official posters of the movie (click the images to enlarge).

Last week, January 10, 2008 was the 78th birthday of Tintin, the all time great comic hero. The masterpiece revealed the adventures of Tintin in 1929 this day. Tintin was so popular in fact that more than three million books of Tintin‘s escapades are sold each year, in 58 languages. But to say the truth, you’ve not experience the real TINTIN until you’ve read it. Although the character is Belgian he is highly regarded in France. Once the late French President Charles De Gaulle had said, “… deep down, my only international rival is Tintin!“.
The first Tintin book I’ve read was Tintin in Tibet (Bangla translation) 14 years ago. And even today I feel the same excitement to read the series (again n’ again). What is lack there? Actually nothing! Tintin, with his famous spikes (tuft) of blond hair, continually battled evil with the help of his dog Snowy and the drunken Captain Haddock accompanied by the muddled genius Professor Calculus and the Thompson Twins.
The good news is that according to industry reports, Steven Spielberg and The Lord of the Rings director Peter Jackson are to bring Tintin to the big screen. Movie publication Variety reports that, Spielberg and Jackson are teaming to direct and produce three back-to-back features based on Georges Remi’s beloved Belgian comic-strip hero Tintin for DreamWorks. Movie will be produced in full digital 3-D using performance capture technology. Jackson’s special effects team Weta Digital has already produced a 20-minute test reel showing how the finished films might look.
