Tin Tin Teaser

Following yesterday's one sheet poster debut comes both a domestic and international version of the first teaser trailer for Steven Spielberg and Peter Jackson's The Adventures Of Tintin: The Secret Of The Unicorn..

The trailers 'tease' indeed with mostly quick cut footage of the scale of the adventure rather than revealing any plot details. The music is excellent, the CG landscapes and environments look really good, the character animation seems miles ahead of the  Robert Zemeckis  mo-cap stuff but still a bit of a distraction. The clips also notably avoid close-ups and dialogue is all voice over, so no actual mouth movements are seen - so it's hard to tell right now.

That said, the film seems like it certainly captures the adventurous spirit of the books.

The international cut has a few seconds of extra footage. Yetserday's poster led to talk that the studio has dropped "The Secret of the Unicorn" from the title, and certainly the U.S. release is going just by the "The Adventures of Tintin".

The international version however, where "Tintin" is much more well-known keeps the full title.



Jamie Bell stars as Tintin, Andy Serkis Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, who will be playing the two bumbling detectives Thompson and Thompson. Daniel Craig, Cary Elwes, Toby Jones, Mackenzie Crook and Daniel Mays also star.

The pic is scripted by Steven Moffat, Edgar Wright and Joe Cornish

The film is set to hit US theatres on December 23.
