The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn, directed by Steven Spielberg and Peter Jackson, is set for a Dec 23, 2011 release date, but the live-action version is officially finished!
The motion-capture adaptation, starring Jamie Bell as Tintin, Andy Serkis as Captain Haddock, and Daniel Craig as the villainous Red Rackham, will need about two years of post-production work, but, as Jackson recently told the BBC, a rough draft has been cut together. The animation technique is the same Jackson used to create Gollum in Lord of the Rings, but with a futuristic twist: it's going to be in 3D.
The forthcoming adaptation (based on the Belgian comic series comics about an intrepid young investigative reporter) has been almost thirty years in the making. Spielberg first bought the rights to a film option in 1982 from Tintin creator Georges Remi (better known by his pen name, Hergé), who thought Spielberg was the only person who could do his iconic character justice.
