Concept Art from THE ADVENTURES OF TINTIN

Here is some super cool concept-art from The Adventures Of Tintin: The Secret Of The Unicorn. The images are from accompanying book, The Art Of The Adventures Of Tintin, by Weta's Chris Guise. The book also features forewords from Steven Spielberg and Peter Jackson.

I am looking forward to seeing this film in theaters. Check out the images below and share your thoughts:

The film from Steven Spielberg and Peter Jackson will be the first in the series of 3D motion capture films based on the iconic character created by Georges Remi, better known to the world by his pen name “Herge”.

The movie stars Jamie Bell as Tintin, the intrepid young reporter whose relentless pursuit of a good story thrusts him into a world of high adventure, and Daniel Craig as the nefarious Red Rackham. Bell and Craig are joined by an international cast that includesAndy Serkis, Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, Gad Elmaleh, Toby Jones and Mackenzie Crook.

If the first film does well there will be a sequel which is scheduled to be directed by Peter Jackson, with a potential for a third film as well. Spielberg and Jackson will bring Herge’s stories to life employing state-of-the-art performance capture technology developed by Jackson’s Weta Digital.

The film comes out on December 23rd 2011
