The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn

Steven Spielberg and Peter Jackson’s The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn is almost upon us, and we can certainly share with you that it will be worth the wait.

Filled with amazing set-piece action sequences and lush visuals, this clip is a rather low-key character piece, but it gives you an idea of the fluidity of movement in the motion captured characters. Here the detectives Thomson and Thompson, played by Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, converse with Tintin (Jamie Bell) over the meaning of a clue. Sort of.
