Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. I'm more ignorant than usual when it comes to Herge's Tintin. I couldn't tell you the plot to one Tintin adventure, I couldn't name more than a few Tintin characters and I only know those because of other pop culture references.
But I'm actually kinda happy that I'll get to experience this world via two extremely talented filmmakers who are so passionate about the source material. That's not guarantee the movies will be amazing, of course. I've seen a passion-fueled movie sizzle before. But no matter what I think this is going to be interesting.
Empire has the first look at the flick, with a cover image even a dummy like me recognizes as being a key image from the comics, and a pair of stills from the film. It has a very Pixar-ish look overall, which is a little surprising. I think I was expecting more photo-real Zemeckis style and less cartoony, but from what I understand that fits the material.
Anyway, I've included one image below that you can click on to take you to Empire where you can see the cover and another still from the film.
