JAMIE BELL and DANIEL CRAIG star in “The Adventures of TinTin: Secret of the Unicorn”, a movie based on the popular early 20th century comic strip by Georges “Hergé” Rémi about a young Belgian reporter and his white terrier aptly named Snowy.
Current news reports this is the second time Bell and Craig have starred together in a movie, the first being the World War II flick, “Defiance” where they played two of three Jewish Belarusian brothers (Liev Schreiber being the third) leading a group of refugees displaced by Nazi Germany. This time around, Bell snagged the title role of red-headed TinTin, and Craig his nemesis, the pirate, Red Rackham.
According to star news, TinTin, one of the most popular comic strips in Europe, has been translated into 80 languages, with over 350 million copies sold during its run from 1929 to 1976. It features the grumpy and be-whiskered Captain Haddock, auditory challenged Professor Calculus, and two bumbling detectives who go by the names Thomson and Thompson.
The Steven Spielberg-helmed, Peter Jackson-produced flick will also star Andy Serkis (Smeagol from “Lord of The Rings” to you), who stars as the belligerent Captain Haddock. Slated for release in November 2011, “TinTin’s” trailer can be viewed below…
