That looks like Gene Hackman with Thompson and Thomson.
Wish we could see Tintin a little better

[fallensaviour]

I am really looking forward to this film.

[BlackKnight]

I have no Idea what this is ..., and dunno if I care.
I thought this was that Alien Movie he has coming out.

[SlipperyLilSuckers]

I will go see that.

Hmmmm....

Interesting how they real'd up the comic designs for the film. Weird.... kinda creepy.... but interesting.

You don't know who Tintin is? FOR SHAME
He's a Belgian comic book character. World's most famous journalist

This is the project that kept Peter Jackson from working on The Hobbit for several years. Motion Capture is from WETA on this film.

OOOOOOOOhhh ..., So Exciting !

OOOOOOOOhhh ..., So Exciting !

Believe it or not, but it really is to some people. And no, not just to Belgians

It's cool Man ..., I'm just having some fun.
I don't keep up with Belgian History.

[Earth 2 Chris]

I know the name, and can picture the character, but that's about it.

I wonder how this film will do here in the US? I'm sure it will be big internationally.

I remeber reading all the comics as a kid he was pretty big here as well.

[Hector]

Oh man, I wanted a film version of Belgian's true superhero...Manneken Pis...

Tintin's obviously got a following in the UK as well, so between the original french which sees distribution in Quebec, and the commonwealth trickle-down, us toque wearers know him. Didn't most of the Chapters Indigo kids sections have that Giant Red Rocket Tintin book display at one time in the past decade or so?

Given how he's not as well known in the US, it kind of surprises me that Spielberg took it on, but I suspect it will do boffo box office Internationally. He's popular in Australia and certain parts of Asia as well.

Brilliant casting with Simon Pegg and Nick Frost as Thomson and Thompson.
