Jamie Bell will motion capure and voice TINTIN, Daniel Craig will play “the nefarious” villain Pirate Red Rackham in the joint 3-D animated Steven Spielberg/Peter Jackson venture at Paramount and Sony.
Toby Jones, Gad Elmaleh, Mackenzie Crook round out the cast which we already know has Andy Serkis playing Captain Haddock and British comedy duo Simon Pegg and Nick Frost as The Thompson Twins.
The movie will be based on THE ADVENTURES OF TINTIN: THE SECRET OF THE UNICORN and has been written by Steven Moffat (DR. WHO) with some help from Edgar Wright (HOT FUZZ/SHAUN OF THE DEAD) and Joe Cornish (one half of comedy duo Adam and Joe) who have contributed according to a press release at Coming Soon.
The movie is set for a release in 2011 and will be directed by Steven Spielberg. The second part of the trilogy will be directed by Peter Jackson sometime later with the helmer for the third still undecided (though both have claimed it will be one or the other, they won’t bring someone new in).
Shooting begins imminently!
Certainly Hollywood thinks the motion captured 3-D animated technology has a big place in the future of the industry. We got Tim Burton on ALICE IN WONDERLAND, a third movie from Robert Zemeckis with the technology in A CHRISTMAS CAROL and now of course Spielberg/Jackson’s TINTIN. Out of the three… TINTIN is the one I’m banking on the most, it lends itself the best to this technology. Gonna be interesting to see how they all turn out and whether we see another set of three high profile directors take up the challenge.
