Spielberg and Jackson’s “Tintin” is go!
G’day visitors,
Thanks to Philip for informing us that the “shooting on the first movie, The Secret of the Unicorn, has been completed”.
Steven Spielberg and Peter Jackson are hard at work on their mammoth ‘Tintin’ trilogy
We’ve known for a while that a trilogy of Tintin movies was on its way: the first to be directed by Steven Spielberg, the second by Peter Jackson, and the third by an as-yet-unnamed lucky winner.
We were surprised, however, to learn this week that shooting on the first movie, ‘The Secret of the Unicorn’, has been completed. Spielberg and crew just wrapped an under-the-radar 32-day run of performance capture sessions with the principal cast, which includes Jamie Bell as our plucky, bequiffed hero and Daniel Craig as his nemesis Red Rackham. Rounding out the cast are motion capture stalwart Andy Serkis as seafaring boozehound Captain Haddock, Simon Pegg and Nick Frost as the bumbling Thompson twins and the ubiquitous Mackenzie Crook as an unnamed, but surely villainous sidekick type character. There’s no word yet on how much of the actors’ physical performances will remain in the finished film: Pegg and Frost, for example, are playing identical twins, which is going to require a fair amount of digital trickery.
