Steven Spielberg's The Adventures of Tintin opens in the UK this month so the push is on with new material being released almost daily. Thus we have a new trailer and it certainly puts the emphasis on adventure! I have to say, I was aware of the source material before the movie but not very familiar. Is this stuff for kids? Tintin and his new cohort, Capt. Haddock, are nearly blown up, have their boat sunk and get shot at repeatedly. Tintin can apparently fly a plane, ride a motorcycle and perform high wire stunts.

Well, I'm not a kid and I think it looks like great fun, certainly visually spectacular. The Adventures of Tintin features the voices (and movements) of Jamie Bell, Andy Serkis, Daniel Craig, Nick Frost, Simon Pegg, Toby Jones, Tony Curran, Daniel Mays, Sebastian Roche, Mackenzie Crook and Cary Elwes and was filmed using motion capture technology with the help of Peter Jackson's WETA Studios. This is Spielberg's first comic book adaptation, his first animated film and his first to be shot digitally. It opens in the US on December 25.
