They are the first pictures of "The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn," the first of a trilogy led by Peter Jackson and Steven Spielberg (who performs this first film), unveiled today by the magazine Empire . I must say that despite being a fan of Jackson, Spielberg and Tintin by Hergé himself, I am not very enthusiastic about this project. And the reason is only one: the process of motion capture. There is one thing that I like it. There is no real picture cartoon, but the two overlap, giving a weird effect, always short of expectations and that, until now, always resulted in unreliable and expressive characters. A waste so. Of course, due to changes in technology and the names involved, this Tintin promises to be a giant step forward in this technique, but it costs me overcome a concept that is nothing more than a show off technological and adds nothing to the movies. Call me biased if you like. Because, most likely in December 2011 there will be in theaters, ready to take the plunge into the world or say 'I told you not?'. There will be inundated with far more pictures, posters, trailers and clips from the movie, but for now, let us be content with these photos that show Jamie Bell as Tintin and Andy Serkis as Captain Haddock.
And then, meets your expectations, and are enthusiastic about the project?

Well ... I predict the worst, too - is the reign of technology increasingly stifling the creative art of filmmaking. And, now, and after reading some of your comments, how the "Avatar" is included in the list of your favorite year? I can not understand.
Take this opportunity to commend the graphic aspect of your blog that really distinguishes the overwhelming majority.
Mice, "Avatar" is on the list because I consider one of the best films of last year and one of the most important in recent years. If your question has to do with the comment that the technology in this article do not have anything against when it is a fundamental part of the story or the way to tell, quite the contrary. I think it is also obvious that the motion capture process used in "Avatar" does not result in unreliable and expressive characters, before giving an extra intensity to the film. If you are here (in "Tintin ...") used only because the director has the means available, as they have done Zemeckis and Lucas, dispense.
Thanks for the compliment, we did so.
