Finally. Steven Spielberg & Peter Jackson team up to create this movie. Apparently in the U.S. it will be released in December, but you lucky people in Europe get to experience it in October.
Get all the details here:

I want to say I'm looking forward to it because I'm such a huge Tintin fan... but I don't want to jinx it. Even with Spielberg, Peter Jackson, Andy Serkis, Stephen Moffatt, and Edgar Wright all involved... I really don't want to jinx it. This could go so right or so wrong.

Awesome people involved but I'm not a fan of this kind of computer animation, too uncanny valley for me.

Yeah, I'm not a big fan of computer animation either. I'll say that I enjoyed the HBO animated series that aired about a decade ago, but as usual nothing beats the comic strip/books.

More like 20 years ago! I remember watching it on Saturday mornings as a kid, and then re-watching it a couple years back. The animated series did the books justice.

full trailer. Its still somewhat Uncanny Valley for me but it does look a lot better. I loved the comics as a kid and it looks like they got the humour and action part down.

Oh, ho, ho, ho, ho... I'm excited.
As far as mo-cap movies go, this one looks pretty awesome.

I haven't read the TinTin books since I was very young (I always liked the Asterix books better), but this looks pretty exciting.
When is it coming to Australia? (If ever...?)

Just got out of the theatre! This movie was incredible. In typical Hollywood fashion the movie deviated fairly heavily from the original story, but in a very acceptable way that borrowed from the other books.
The voices and animation of the characters was spot-on, exactly the way that I had imagined. One thing that surprised me was how true-to-form Haddock was from an alcohol-consumption standpoint - this was one thing I was sure that they would tone down.
Worth every penny of the admission price.
