Spielberg own the rights of the comics in 1984.He wanted to make a live action movie. But it’s Jackson,who had used motion capture in ‘The Lord of the Rings’ and ‘King Kong’, suggested spielberg that a live action adaptation would not do justice to the comic books but the motion capture will be the best way of representing the world of Tintin.
Starring Jamie bell as Tintin, Andy Serkis as Captain Haddock, Daniel Craig as Red Rackham and with others, the film is going to hit the theatres on December 23, 2011.
