The new action-packed trailer for Peter Jackson and Steven Spielberg's The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn looks fairly brilliant.
In the clip we see much more than was previously shown of heroic boy reporter Tintin as he tries to unravel the mystery of the sunken treasure. It's smart, fast, funny and gorgeous – in essence it's everything Tintin should be. With any luck, that action can be maintained for the full film. (Simon Pegg, who voices Inspector Thompson, already promised that Tintin will be a "crowd-pleaser" in an interview with Wired.com.)
There's been a lot of hand-wringing about whether the Spielberg-directed 3-D movie would find itself teetering too close to the uncanny valley. How something looks on 2-D computer screens can be wildly different from how it'll appear at the multiplex, but if the action pulses throughout the entire film the way it does in this trailer, audiences will be too busy enjoying themselves to notice dips into the crevasse.
The film, based on the Belgian comic strip by Georges Remi, aka Hergé, is being produced by Jackson. The script was penned by a powerhouse writing team of Scott Pilgrim vs. the World director Edgar Wright, Doctor Who scribe Steven Moffat and Joe Cornish, the writer/director behind current buzz movie Attack the Block. It's also being voiced by a who's-who of boldface names like Pegg, Daniel Craig, Nick Frost and Andy Serkis.
The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn hits theaters Dec. 23.
