A bounty of new Tintin images have appeared online for Steven Spielberg’s THE ADVENTURES OF TINTIN: SECRET OF THE UNICORN. It seems Señor Spielberg might have actually succeeded in the difficult task of recreating Belgium’s most famous globe-trotting journalist for the big screen. The visual style looks pretty faithful to Hergé’s original illustrations.

Written by Steven Moffatt (BBC’S SHERLOCK), Edgar Wright (SCOTT PILGRIM) and Joe Cornish (ATTACK THE BLOCK), the script for SECRET OF THE UNICORN is based on three Tintin books; ‘The Crab with the Golden Claws’, ‘The Secret of the Unicorn’ and ‘Red Rackam’s Treasure‘. The cast includes Jamie Bell (THE EAGLE), Andy Serkis (LORD OF THE RINGS), Simon Pegg (PAUL), Nick Frost (SPACED) and Daniel Craig (COWBOYS & ALIENS).

THE ADVENTURES OF TINTIN: SECRET OF THE UNICORN is due for release in the UK on 26th October 2011, and in the US on the 23rd December 2011.
