Great snakes, Tintin to spend two years in the third dimension

posted by John Lampard on Thursday, 26 November, 2009 to the movies subset

The upcoming Tintin movie will spend the next two years in post-production as Peter Jackson and his team take footage filmed so far and render it into 3D format.

The film is based on three Tintin stories, The Secret of the Unicorn, Red Rackham’s Treasure, and – interestingly – The Crab with the Golden Claws, which, while having no direct connection to the first two titles, does introduce Captain Haddock, and a baddie or two, to the series.

The Adventures of Tintin: Secret of the Unicorn, the first in a proposed trilogy, will feature the voice of Billy Elliot star Jamie Bell as the intrepid Belgian journalist, with regular Jackson collaborator Andy Serkis as the salty Captain Haddock.
