Retro_Link Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 I'm not entirely sure why they don't just use the actors themselves, if they're going to make it look the way it does... I think that's partly why I was a bit underwhelmed. Well that, and the fact that Pirates 3 pretty much beat them to the set piece of that teaser 5 years ago! Also, his hair didn't look right.

The Peeps Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 I like that they've gone for animation. Makes it more comic-booky or whatever which stays true to the original books. There would be a lot more complaints about looks if they used live action... this way, fans of the series can see the actual characters as they've always looked. Although if they had gone with live action... You can't look more Tintin than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guy Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 I think this looks cool. I'll definitely check it out when it shows up in cinemas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamishmash Posted May 17, 2011 Author Share Posted May 17, 2011 It is an interesting trailer. In the books it is based on, you never see a pirate ship in the desert but they do have some hallucinations in the desert so that's what I'm assuming it is.

Dannyboy-the-Dane Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 Oh yeah, that opening really was awesome, wasn't it? YES! Though now I'm bugged I couldn't find it myself ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paj! Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 *enters thread* *watches trailer* My friend jumped on my back and shouted into my ear that the trailer was released today. I just stared at him blankly until he walked off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EEVILMURRAY Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 That trailer looked absolute shite. Teasers are meant to make you want more, not go "... Ok." and then walk off. Although if they had gone with live action... http://api.ning.com/files/VkPF1teFDxlyKfNfCq5tdiCVLZO1VOUYiwNHsTvEkjXqy1Z7toNEzJRO7Aa9UQVH97Jfw7mUgH3ekJqWfdzKwksaQRev0Mnj/S5BenLinus.jpg You can't look more Tintin than that. Yes you can! Complete with a look of gay mystique. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hamishmash Posted May 18, 2011 Author Share Posted May 18, 2011 I think it'll probably flop but I don't really care because I tend to love flops like Scott Pilgrim and Speed Racer. :P I'm just happy people are talking about Tintin again. Seriously... my Tintin fandom goes beyond Nintendo tenfold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 The trailer looks really good. I have some Tin Tin photos from a Belgian restaurant in Eastbourne. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamishmash Posted May 18, 2011 Author Share Posted May 18, 2011 Speaking of real life Tintins, I think Russell Tovey (Being Human, The History Boys) looked pretty good when he played Tintin on stage a few years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamba Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 I recently watched "The Extraordinary Adventures of Adèle Blanc-Sec" which felt very Tin Tin. I'm a bit worried that it might have spoilt this for me. Frankly I think Luc Besson's quirkiness suits the genre a little better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weeyellowbloke Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 Speaking of real life Tintins, I think Russell Tovey (Being Human, The History Boys) looked pretty good when he played Tintin on stage a few years ago. Was that Tintin in Tibet? I went to see an adaptation of that for stage a few years back; it was fantastic. Anyway BOO-YAH, first I've heard of this and the production team working on it makes me do little jig of excitement. Collected pretty much all the Tintin books when I was little and loved watching the cartoon boxset at university, the voice work was hilarious. I can't remember, does Secret of the Unicorn feature my favourite villain Allan? Also I guess there must be plans for a sequel based on Red Rackham's Treasure.

Oxigen_Waste Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 Didn't know about the motion capture bit. Not happy about it. Still gonna go see it as soon as it comes out because I love Tintin (even if it is one dimentional), but... live action would suit the series better.

This film covers both and also parts of The Crab With the Golden Claws (mainly the Haddock-introducing segments). Didn't know about the motion capture bit. Not happy about it.Still gonna go see it as soon as it comes out because I love Tintin (even if it is one dimentional), but... live action would suit the series better. I'm not mo caps biggest fan but I really don't think live action would do Tintin justice. The world Hergé's creates has a very specific style and you can tell this movie is being faithful to that "cartoony but accurate" world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retro_Link Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Sequel confirmed. http://uk.movies.ign.com/articles/121/1218772p1.html Peter Jackson's Next Film is Tintin 2 Spielberg claims an outline is already completed. "Peter's doing it," Spielberg said in a recent interview with Total Film. "I wanted to do it, but Peter has to because we made a deal. I said, 'I'll direct the first one, you direct the second one.' And Peter, of course, is going to do it right after he finishes photography on The Hobbit. He'll go right into the 31, 21 days of performance capture... We're not telling the world what books we're basing the second movie on yet." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
