The Adventures of Tintin Secret of the Unicorn

If you grew up with an eye for cartoon adventures then you probably liked Jamie and the Magic Torch, Galaxy High, Mask, Thunder Cats and Hergé’s Adventures of Tintin. Sadly only one of these classics is being made into a big budget film for 2011 (fingers crossed for the rest though). The Adventures of Tintin Secret of the Unicorn is the first of Hergé’s brilliant cartoons creations to be made into a film in the 21st Century.

The story picks up with Tintin in an adaptation of three of Hergé’s comic books published in the 1940s, The Crab with the Golden Claws, The Secret of the Unicorn and Red Rackham's Treasure, starting out with Tintin’s (Jamie Bell) first meeting with Captain Haddock (Andy Serkis). In a dash to get to Haddock’s ancestral treasure they must piece together the aftermath of pirate, Red Racham's (Daniel Craig) sinking of Sir Francis Haddock's ship the Unicorn.

Tintin favourites, twin detectives, Thomson and Thomson, are also heavily involved in the storyline, played by Simon Pegg & Nick Frost (Paul DVD). Combined with the directorial power of Steven Spielberg and Peter Jackson’s production skills and Weta Digital to provide the motion capture 3D animation the film's got a lot of potential.

The Adventures of Tintin Secret of the Unicorn is due for release on the 26th October 2011. The script has amazingly been written by Steven Moffatt (Sherlock BBC), Edgar Wright (Scott Pilgrim vs the World) and Joe Cornish (Attack the Block), so it could be genuinely class.
