Three More Images From Steven Spielberg’s The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn

NOSTALGIAGASM ALERT: Three more images have been released for ‘The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn’ in conjunction with Empire magazine’s new cover story on the film.  The film has a powerhouse team behind it with direction by Steven Spielberg, Peter Jackson on producing duties and featuring a script co-written by Steven Moffat, Edgar Wright, and Joe Cornish. I’m stoked! Look out for this is cinemas October 26th 2011.

“With live action you’re going to have actors pretending to be Captain Haddock and Tintin,” says Peter Jackson. “You’d be casting people to look like them. It’s not really going to feel like the Tintin Hergé drew. It’s going to be somewhat different. With CGI we can bring Hergé’s world to life, keep the stylised caricatured faces, keep everything looking like Hergé’s artwork, but make it photo-real.”

The film also stars Simon Pegg and Nick Frost as Thompson and Thomson respectively (“When people first heard that bit of casting they thought that we’d gone barking mad,” says Jackson. Adds Spielberg, “The Thompson Twins can’t be clones of each other. Nick and Simon provided all the differences we needed to foil for each other. They have a wonderful moment in the movie where they start to have an argument about whose sidekick is whose.”) and Daniel Craig as Red Rackham. It also features Cary Elwes, Toby Jones, Mackenzie Crook and Daniel Mays.
