Steven Spielberg invited Empire to the set of The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn and the shot above was taken during a few moments of down time on the set. It shows Jamie Bell (Tintin) and Andy Serkis (Captain Haddock) talking with Steven Spielberg and Peter Jackson.

Jackson is currently work with WETA to turn them dots, costumes and hi-tech helmets into “pure awesomeness” according to Empire.

Sony and Paramount have just made one big announcement for Tintin. The big news is that Daniel Craig and Jamie Bell will be joining the cast. Both actors were seen in Defiance, and I have a feeling a friendship may have formed which resulted in them both joining Tintin. The second bit of news is that the films official title has revealed: The Adventures of Tintin: Secret of the Unicorn.

From ComingSoon.net

Paramount Pictures and Sony Pictures Entertainment have announced the start of principal production in Los Angeles on the 3D Motion Capture Film “The Adventures of Tintin: Secret of the Unicorn,” directed by Steven Spielberg and starring Jamie Bell (”Billy Elliot,” “Defiance”) as Tintin, the intrepid young reporter whose relentless pursuit of a good story thrusts him into a world of high adventure, and Daniel Craig (”Quantum of Solace,” “Defiance”) 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 Adventures of Tintin: Secret of the Unicorn,” from a screenplay by Steven Moffat, Edgar Wright and Joe Cornish, is produced by Spielberg, Peter Jackson and Kathleen Kennedy, is the first in the series of 3D motion capture films based on the iconic character created by Georges Remi, better known to the world by his pen name “Herge” and is due for release in 2011. Executive producers are Nick Rodwell, Stephane Sperry and Ken Kamins. Paramount Pictures will release domestically and in all English speaking territories and Asia, excluding India. Sony Pictures Releasing International will distribute the film in Continental Europe, Eastern Europe, Latin America, India and the remainder of the world.
The second feature in the series is scheduled to be directed by Jackson, with a potential for a third film as well.

Things are looking good for this movie. Some sites haven’t been too enthusiastic about Tintin due to the comics not being well known in the US. Hopefully this casting, along with the fact Steven Spielberg and Peter Jackson are the men behind it, will make people a little more optimistic!

[Note: I'm still going to call it Tintin as typing that beast of a title out everytime will get tiresome]

New Defiance Poster

Empire were given this rather cool poster for Defiance, which stars Daniel Craig, Liev Schreiber and Jamie Bell. I saw the trailer for this on the big screen before my showing of Quantum of Solace yesterday and it gave me those good old ‘movie chills’, which I haven’t had for a while.

Three Jewish brothers escape from Nazi-occupied Poland into the Belarussian forest, where they join Russian resistance fighters and endeavor to build a village in order to protect themselves and others in danger.

Defiance will be released in January 2009.

Defiance Poster And Trailer

We have a new poster for Defiance, which stars Daniel Craig, Liev Schreiber and Jamie Bell.

Not only that, Variety got an exclusive trailer which you can see below. Those of you who have quick eyes may notice that the girl who gets married in the trailer is the same girl who Tim Burton has cast as Alice in Alice in Wonderland. Mia Wasikowska.

Based on an extraordinary true story, Defiance is an epic tale of family, honor, vengeance and salvation in World War II. The year is 1941 and the Jews of Eastern Europe are being massacred by the thousands. Managing to escape certain death, three brothers take refuge in the dense surrounding woods they have known since childhood. There they begin their desperate battle against the Nazis. Craig, Schreiber and Bell star as brothers who turn a primitive struggle to survive into something far more consequential – a way to avenge the deaths of their loved ones by saving thousands of others.
