The first on-set photos of the Tintin filming have been released by Empire Magazine

The photo shows Jamie Bell and Andy Serkis in motion capture suits talking to Steven Spielberg. In the background can be seen images from the books, particularly Thompson & Thomson, stuck on the the walls.

The picture comes from Empire Magazie’s 20th anniversary issue which has a special guest editor, Steven Spielberg. More photos are promised when the magazine comes out.

A great fan video of Tintin, imagined in the style of the Bourne Identity / Casino Royal gritty action films.

It reminds me of this clip for Gandhi II from Weird Al Yonkovic’s film UHF.

Thanks to Inferior Design for spotting this.

Until the first Tintin trailer comes out, we will have to get by on trailers for films from other classic children books.

If you have children and haven’t brought them a copy of Where The Wild Things Are then you are a bad parent. It is an essential part of every young child’s discovery of reading.

Two minutes of Tintin fun as a couple of Tintin fans and their dog make a homage to The Crab with the Golden Claws

It is all in French, which I don’t speak, but I suspect there are some clever jokes in it. However it is still remarkably recognisable as The Crab with the Golden Claws. Well worth a watch.

Note: I found this on the Facebook group: The Adventures of Tintin. There is also a Tintin group and a Don’t Let Dreamworks Ruin Tintin group.

Teesside is an area in the north-east of England around the city of Middlesbrough. Like the rest of the cities around their, Middlesbrough has a strong regional accent and a very straight forward approach to life. NSFW.
