It is produced by Academy Award® winners Spielberg, Peter Jackson and Kathleen Kennedy. From a screenplay by Steven Moffat, Edgar Wright and Joe Cornish, the story follows the unquenchably curious young reporter Tintin and his fiercely loyal dog Snowy as they discover a ship carrying an explosive secret that may hold the key to vast fortune…and an ancient curse. Academy Award®-winning composer John Williams scored the film, with 2011 marking a collaboration between Spielberg and Williams that has enriched 25 of their films together.

THE EXTRATERRESTRIAL (#24), JAWS (#56), RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK (#66) and SAVING PRIVATE RYAN (#71); and he recently completed a one-hour special at the AFI Conservatory with friend and collaborator John Williams entitled TCM presents AFI’s Master Class: The Art of Collaboration that will debut on Turner Classic Movies on November 15, 2011 and will explore the four-decade friendship and working relationship between the two artists, among the most prolific and influential collaborations in film history. In addition, both Spielberg and Kathleen Kennedy serve on the American Film Institute’s Board of Trustees, which is comprised of leaders of the motion picture and television communities and leaders from global goods and services companies and is chaired by Sir Howard Stringer, Chairman and CEO of the Sony Corporation. Spielberg has been an AFI Trustee since 1986, Kennedy since 1994.

New Image & Comic Con Panel Photos From THE ADVENTURES OF TINTIN

Paramount Pictures has released another new image from the upcoming THE ADVENTURES OF TINTIN. Have you seen the trailer for the film from Director Steven Spielberg?

Steven Spielberg and Peter Jackson spoke at the “Tintin” panel at Comic-Con in San Diego, CA on Friday, July 22, 2011. The latest footage of the film was met with positive enthusiasm and according to THR, worries on the CGI, European based movie were squashed.

The extended footage shown, most of which consisted of Tintin interacting with a source, then later with Captain Haddock, smacked those concerns aside. And the action scenes had a propulsive feel to them, also impressive.

THR also went on to report:

Spielberg also confirmed The Hollywood Reporter’s story from June 15 about a fourth Jurassic Park movie. (“Hopefully we’ll make it in the next two or three years,”) while Jackson said he was developing a return to horror.

Below, Andy Serkis had a little fun when he came up to the mic incognito and asked a question of Steven Spielberg and Peter Jackson during the “Tintin” panel at Comic-Con in San Diego, CA on Friday, July 22, 2011.

The best photo by far has to be the one at the ending of the Tintin panel where one lucky fan came on stage to shake Spielberg’s hand – pretty cool!
