Today marks a new chapter in the building excitement for Steven Spielberg's upcoming animated film adaptation of the famous comic strip adventure series
Tin Tin, as the first trailer was released today. The character was created in the 1930's by Belgian artist Georges Remi (who wrote the series under the pen name Herge). The twenty-four book series features the adventures of Tin Tin, a young reporter for a Belgian newspaper, his faithful terrier Snowy and Tin Tin's other friends, having many interesting and bizarre adventures around the world. The film, which is slated for release on December 23 of next year, combines the plots of three different Tin Tin books,
The Crab with the Golden Claws,
The Secret of the Unicorn and
Red Rackham's Treasure. Spielberg will be using the same 3D animation style used in
Avatar to take the characters from Herge's world and bring them to life on the big screen The film will feature Jaime Bell as the voice of Tin Tin, Andy Serkis as Captain Haddock and a cast of other famous faces bringing voices to the characters from the books.
