A new full length trailer has been released for Steven Spielberg and Peter Jackson’s The Adventures Of Tintin: The Secret Of The Unicorn. It’s looking good; motion capture might actually pay off with this film. The action looks amazing and should be a great time at the movies this holiday season.
The film 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 includes Andy Serkis, Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, Gad Elmaleh, Toby Jones and Mackenzie Crook.
The film comes out on December 23rd 2011. Watch the new trailer below.

20th Century Fox is in the middle of adapting the classic TV series 21 Jump Street, starring Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum as two cops who go undercover in a high school. The cast for the film also includes Ice Cube, Dave Franco, Brie Larsen, and Rob Riggle. I would love the movie to be rated R for language, but I imagine they will save that for the “Jumpier Street Edition” DVD and make the theatrical film PG-13. The current release date for the film is March 16, 2012

The first trailer for Steven Spielberg‘s The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn is here and it’s more of a teaser if you ask me. We don’t get to see a lot of faces, they still working on post? We do however see some action, and that is what Tintin is all about.
The film stars just a few big names – Jamie Bell, Daniel Craig, Mackenzie Crook, Andy Serkis, Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, Cary Elwes, Toby Jones, and Daniel Mays. Steven Moffat (Doctor Who), Joe Cornish (Attack the Block), and Edgar Wright (Shaun of the Dead) wrote the script with Peter Jackson co-producing the film. The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn opens in 3D on December 23rd.

These day’s video blogs and on-set information are pretty standard for a lot of projects. Much of that I feel should be credited to Peter Jackson, who when shooting The Fellowship of the Ring he would let us all in on the film sets, effects, costumes, and editing. Well he’s back in Tolkien territory with The Hobbit and has posted his first video blog (via facebook) for all of us to watch.

New publicity photos of Peter Jackson show the director’s remarkable change since the release of the first Lord of the Rings. Ten years later, Jackson can be seen in a photos we posted yesterday, in a very similar hobbit hole, in the same pose, still clutching a pipe like a badass. Filming on The Hobbit began today in secret locations around New Zealand. Looking good Jackson!
