Steven Spielberg confirms Tintin Sequel is aiming for Christmas 2015

Tintin-Poster

Steven Spielberg’s first foray into animation was a big hit towards the end of 2011, with The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn taking almost $375m. around the world, a slew of awards and nominations, and plenty of critics’ praise. Talk had already been circling about not just one Tintin sequel, but a [...]




Lucky Luke and other Cartoon heroes on the Big Screen

Lucky Luke Jean Dujardin

As this summer’s blockbuster season reminds us comic book adaptations are big business with the latest incarnations of heroes old and new filling the local picturehouse and running merry riot over box office records. Given the twin benefits of a wealth of material on which to draw and a ready audience primed to see their [...]




The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn DVD Review

Tintin-Poster

The big question with the transfer of Tintin from big to small screen was how the fantastic use of 3D and sheer scale of the film would suffer. The answer, thankfully, is not in the slightest, Spielberg and Jackson wisely choosing to steer clear of the clichéd third dimensional gimmicks. With the audience treated as [...]




Fancy an Exclusive Clip from The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn DVD?

Tintin-Poster

Last year the two towers of Peter Jackson and Steven Spielberg combined to bring Hergé’s bequiffed junior hero to the big screen in a CG/Mo-cap explosion which impressed many and promised much for the next film in the series. The film is out on Blu-ray and DVD in a week’s time and we’ve got a clip [...]

This new clip is introduced by Jeremy Irvine [...]




New Stills From Spielberg’s War Horse

War Horse 3

Spielberg seems to be trying another of his “one for the Oscars, one for the multiplex” years, much like 1993′s double-whamy of Schindler’s List and Jurassic Park. That worked out rather well for him, yielding what was then the highest ever grossing film at the box office (supplanting his own ET after some 11 years) [...]




An Interview With Tintin VFX Supervisor Joe Letteri

Joe Letteri Tintin Banner

One of the most striking things about Tintin is the quality of the animation. While I found the character design somewhat cold and distant, everything else was rather impressive, so when I recently had the chance to talk to the film’s VFX supervisor Joe Letteri, I wanted to understand why things like the character movement [...]




Looking For Tintin In Brussels

P1010523

We had a moment of panic in the HeyUGuys Bunker recently. While we were all really excited for release of The Adventures of Tintin: Secret of the Unicorn, none of us were what you would call Tintin experts. We could go on at length about motion capture, computer animation and 3D, but our Tintin knowledge [...]

Last night HeyUGuys headed down to Leicester Square for the UK premiere of The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn.

The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn Review

Tintin-UK-Poster

It’s probably worth starting this review of The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn by gently ushering a couple of elephants out of the room. The first is the title, which is ridiculously overlong. For the sake of simplicity, from here on in, we’ll simply be calling it ‘Tintin’. The second, much larger [...]




Exclusive Interview with Cillian Murphy for Retreat

Cillian Murphy as Martin in Retreat (2)

Cillian Murphy must be high on the list of any director so it’s testament to the project that first time director Carl Tibbets convinced he actor to join Thandie Newton and Jamie Bell in leading his first film. If the DVD tagline from our friends at BestforFilm is accurate then Carl Tibbets’ new film Retreat [...]

New Tintin Poster is an Unsubtle Mess

tintint poster

I’ve loved the posters for Peter Jackson and Steven Spielberg’s The Adventures of Tintin so far. Each teased the adventure ahead with sihlouettes of our bequiffed hero and his dog wandering towards both Hell and High Water and there was a genuine sense that was coming would be something special. Sadly this new poster, if [...]

As I write this, Steven Spielberg is standing up in Hall H alongside Peter Jackson to talk about their brand new movie, The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn or The Adventures of Tintin as I believe it is now known.
