Spielberg shot his portion of the film in 32 days (in March 2009). SpielbergвЂ™s cinematographer Janusz Kaminski was brought on to act as a lighting consultant for Weta, as Jackson wanted the film to look вЂњfilm noir-ish, and very atmospheric.вЂќДЎ5. Spielberg always keeps one eye closed when framing a shot, so that he can visualize the film in 2D, вЂњthe way viewers would.вЂќ But on this film, he had both of his eyes open, as it was 3D and he wanted to treat the film like live-action.ДЎ4. He later commented that they had a surreal quality, similar to the Monty Python films.ДЎ3. To prepare for his role as Captain Haddock, Serkis read the majority of the Tintin comics. Serkis joked that he was worried Jackson would cast him as TintinвЂ™s dog Snowy.ДЎ2. This is Andy SerkisвЂ™s third collaboration with Jackson, as well as his fourth motion-capture role (he played Gollum in Lord of the Rings, as well as King Kong in that feature and Caeser in Rise of the Planet of the Apes). When the film was in development in 1984, Spielberg wanted Jack Nicholson to play Captain Haddock.ДЎ1.

Meanwhile, Tintin creator HergГ© became a fan of Spielberg, and has said he вЂњthought Spielberg was the only person who could ever do Tintin justice.вЂќДЎ0. His secretary bought him French-language editions of each book, and Spielberg immediately fell in love with the artwork. Spielberg has been an avid fan of The Adventures of Tintin comic books since 1981, when a review compared Raiders of the Lost Ark to Tintin. At one time, he was considered to do Superman.Д©. This is SpielbergвЂ™s first comic-book adaptation. Spielberg and Jackson allowed him to leave and fulfill his duty to Doctor Who (Jackson is a big fan), and brought in Edgar Wright and Joe Cornish to rewrite MoffatвЂ™s draft.ДЁ. Moffat finished a draft of the script, but couldnвЂ™t polish it because of the 2007-2008 Writers Guild of America strike, and then signed on as executive producer of Doctor Who. Screenwriter Steven Moffat claims he was вЂњlove-bombedвЂќ by Spielberg into writing the script for this film, with Spielberg promising to shield him from studio interference with his writing.Д§. Spielberg has always shot his films traditionally, but since he saw Tintin as an animated film (though real people are вЂњcapturedвЂќ in their movements), he didnвЂ™t mind shooting it digitally.Д¦. Spielberg has said of his experience filming Tintin: вЂњI did feel like a painter in a way, and that was exciting for me.вЂќ Indeed, it does have similarities to Indiana Jones.

The movie fittingly starts with a closeup of a painterвЂ™s palette. The Adventures of Tintin was released 30 years to the day that Raiders of the Lost Ark was released in 1981, also directed by Spielberg. As it turned out, Jackson was a longtime fan of Tintin and convinced Spielberg that live action would not do justice to the comic books, and that motion capture was the best way of representing HergГ©вЂ™s world of Tintin. Spielberg originally planned to do a live-action adaptation of Tintin, and called Peter Jackson to ask if his visual effects company Weta Digital would work on the film - in particular, create a CGI Snowy (TintinвЂ™s dog). Around that time, he hired E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial writer Melissa Mathison to write a draft of the script, which featured a battle in Africa between Tintin and ivory poachers.ДЈ. Spielberg has had the rights to Tintin since 1983.

This is the first animated film directed by Spielberg (I know, right? Seems like heвЂ™d have at least one in his long list of credits).Дў. Here are 20 cool things about this upcoming motion-capture film.ДЎ. It also stars Daniel Craig (Ivanovich Sakharine/Red Rackham), Simon Pegg (Inspector Thompson), Cary Elwes (Pilot), Toby Jones (Silk), Nick Frost (Thomson) and Sebastian Roche (Pedro).В Two sequels are already in the works: The Adventures of Tintin: Prisoners of the Sun (2013) and a third untitled Tintin sequel (2015). The movie is rated PG for adventure action violence, some drunkenness and brief smoking. But someone else is in search of the ship, too.
