Motion capture, Avatar aside, has been kind of hit or miss but this seems to keep with the art style of the books giving it a more stylized look than say Beowulf, A Christmas Carol or The Polar Express.
Regardless it looks like an interesting endeavor even if this teaser doesn’t really show much.
The ship in the desert reminds me of Pirates 3.
ReplyDeleteI think the animation is actually putting me off this. Given the cast involved I want it to be people!
Think they really wanted to stay close to the style of the book but the cast assembled could have made a strong film either way.
ReplyDeleteThis has been on again off again for so long I thought it would never actually get made. I love the Tintin books and am waiting eagerly for this.
ReplyDeleteOne thing about being in NZ is that almost every move Jackson makes is news. He can almost not get dressed in privacy without it beig deemed news worthy! So the fact that this is actually coming out has been kept very quiet. Jackson is like that. He kept King Kong tightly under wraps too.
I can imagine Brent, he's pretty much a national hero in NZ. I've been hearing about this film for years now, so I'm very curious to see how it finally comes out.
ReplyDeleteIs it just me or does Steven have his damn hand it everything this year? Dammit, he must be addicted to money!
ReplyDeleteSure seems that way doesn't it!
