Steven Spielberg has two films coming out this year. Two quite different ones.
War Horse is the film adaptation of the Michael Morpurgo children’s novel. It is set in World War I and stars Jeremy Irvine, David Thewliss, Emma Thompson and Benedict Cumberbatch. It will be released in the United States on December 28 2011. It has no Dutch release date yet.
The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn is also an adaptation, of the famous cmoic strip series Tintin. Its story borrows elements from a number of different Tintin albums. Spielberg uses James Cameron’s Avatar technology for performance capture and 3D filming for this film. The ‘performers’ include Jamiel Bell, Nick Frost, Simon Pegg, Daniel Craig and Andy Serkis. Yes, Tintin is a man’s world.
The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn will be released on October 26th in The Netherlands, and just before Christmas in the United States.
