Everyone’s favourite Belgian boy-detective makes his long-awaited big-screen debut courtesy of legendary director Steven Spielberg and producer Peter Jackson (THE LORD OF THE RINGS trilogy). The animated adventure kicks off after Tintin (Bell, JANE EYRE) and his trusty pup sidekick Snowy discover a map giving directions to a ship that sank under the helm of one of Captain Haddock’s (Serkis, RISE OF THE PLANET OF THE APES) ancestors. Setting off on an exciting treasure hunt, Tintin soon encounters a series of perilous obstacles. Scripted by Brit trio Steven Moffat (Doctor Who), Edgar Wright (SCOTT PILGRIM VS THE WORLD) and Joe Cornish (ATTACK THE BLOCK), THE ADVENTURES OF TINTIN promises to be a swashbuckling performance-capture ride for the whole family.
