Tin Tin!!!!

So I just recently discovered that one of my most favorite childhood heroes will be coming back in a big way, via the big screen in...

"The Adventures of Tin-Tin: The Secret of the Unicorn."




The Adventures of Tintin: Secret of the Unicorn is the first in the series of 3D motion capture films based on the iconic character created by the Belgian artist Georges RĂ©mi, better known to the world by his pen name Herge.

The film will depict Tintin’s (Jamie Bell) first encounter with Captain Haddock (Andy Serkis) and the discovery of a clue to the treasure of his ancestor Sir Francis Haddock. They set out to find it with protection from a prison escapee who tried to get the treasure as well as Detectives Thomson (Nick Frost) and Thompson (Simon Pegg).


...and the fact that the movie is under the directorial supervision of Steven Spielberg and Peter Jackson makes this all the more comforting...like, because, I know it will turn out good, haha.

Anyway, here are some more awesome stills from the movie, which is rendered in CGI btw, (click images to enlarge).

The movie is set for release in theaters in December (23rd) of 2011. Can't wait!!!
