Combining the stories of The Crab with the Golden Claws, The Secret of the Unicorn and Red Rackham's Treasure, the film depicts Tintin's first encounter with Captain Haddock and the discovery of a clue to the treasure of his ancestor Sir Francis Haddock. They set out to find it with protection from a prison escapee who tried to get the treasure as well as Detectives Thompson and Thomson.



Thanks to Total Film, check out the producer's brief comment below:


[With the CGI], you can go back to get angles you didn't think of on the day. However, it's both a good thing and a bad thing.


You try to treat it as a real movie, to keep from going crazy with difficult shots, but sometimes you can't help yourself. You have to know when to stop.


On a live-action set you have hundreds of people working and if it clouds over or rains, which it does from time to time in New Zealand, they're just sitting there waiting for it to stop and it's costing hundreds of thousands of dollars. But it's not cheaper than live action. Not at all.





Starring Jamie Bell, Andy Serkis, Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, and Daniel Craig, The Adventures of Tintin: Secret of the Unicorn is set to arrive on theaters on October 26 in the US and December 23 in the UK, both later this year!
