With his most recent directorial effort, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, leaving some viewers disappointed, Steven Spielberg will be looking to make amends this later year with his latest one-two combo, the World War I drama War Horse and the big budget motion-capture adaptation The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn, which has just received its first teaser trailer. Written by Brits Steven Moffat (Doctor Who), Edgar Wright (Scott Pilgrim vs. the World) and Joe Cornish (Attack the Block) and produced by Peter Jackson, the film is the first movie adaptation of Herge's classic comic book series based on the adventures of roving reporter Tintin and his dog Snowy.
Spielberg's film will draw inspiration from three Tintin albums - The Crab with the Golden Claws, The Secret of the Unicorn and Red Rackham's Treasure - and is envisioned as the first of a trilogy, with Jackson set to helm the sequel before partnering up with Spielberg to co-direct the third.
Should it manage to avoid the 'Zemeckis Curse', that is.
The Secret of the Unicorn stars Jamie Bell as Tintin, Andy Serkis as Captain Haddock, Simon Pegg and Nick Frost as Thompson and Thompson, Daniel Craig as Red Rackham and Toby Jones as Aristides Silk. Take a look at the trailer...
Tintin hits the UK and Europe on October 26th, while our North American friends will have to wait until December 23rd.
