Empire also have some words from Jackson and Spielberg..
“With live action you’re going to have actors pretending to be Captain Haddock and Tintin,” says Peter Jackson.
“You’d be casting people to look like them. It’s not really going to feel like the Tintin Hergé drew. It’s going to be somewhat different. With CGI we can bring Hergé’s world to life, keep the stylised caricatured faces, keep everything looking like Hergé’s artwork, but make it photo-real.”
Says Stephen Spielberg,
“The first part of the film, which is the most mysterious part, certainly owes much to not only film noir but the whole German Brechtian theatre — some of our night scenes and our action scenes are very contrasty. But at the same time the movie is a hell of an adventure.”
Jamie Bell will provide the voice of Tintin, Andy Serkis Captain Haddock and the film also stars Simon Pegg and Nick Frost as the Thompson twins, and Daniel Craig as Red Rackham. It also features Cary Elwes, Toby Jones, Mackenzie Crook and Daniel Mays.
