Tintin Trailer is OUT!

Finally the first trailer for the Tintin movie!

Yeah this thing has a lot of potential.

Tintin is coming!!!!

As I posted back in April of 2008 the Tintin movie is becoming more of a reality or at least a CGI reality. This magazine recently got an exclusive look at what is in the works.
There are a ton of big names involved in this movie (Spielberg, Peter Jackson - producers, Jamie Bell - Tintin, Andy Serkis - Capt. Haddock, Simon Pegg and Nick Frost - Thompson twins, Daniel Craig - Red Rackham). I know names don't always make a movie good but I sure hope it works out in this case.

Here are a couple screen shots from The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn.

This is one of the first Tintin books I can remember reading. Can you tell I'm excited?

Tintin on the Big Screen!

It appears that they may be taking the Tintin comic books and creating a movie franchise out of it. When I was a kid Tintin was my hero. I read all the books (over and over again) and played war with my friends while pretending to be in a Tintinesque environment. I think a lot of my drawing skills (whatever skills I may have) were even derived from looking at all those books. I was even Tintin for halloween once though barely anybody knew who he was. They are ancient books originally done in french in the early part of the 20th century but are so timeless in a humorous and gripping kind of way.
Needless to say, I am very excited about this.
