The Adventures of Tintin

[J-Sentius]

Why not?

Really, the thing is that it'll be seen as just another adventure flick. A la "The Center of the Earth". It won't be special. Unless the whole movie is CG.

Honestly, I think that was just a gimmick movie to do something in 3D for the kiddies. The impression I'm getting with Tintin is a quality story, with drama, comedy, and action/adventure, that just happens to have some groundbreaking animation techniques being used.

the whole movie IS gonna be CG. it'll be a stylized film with photorealistic CG.

Oh my, that's...that's pretty awesome !!!

 

[DorkyFresh]

yeah...the fact that it'll be a stylized photorealistic CG movie that will able to be seen in 3D (along with Spielberg and PJ being involved) makes me interested in this flick. i never really cared for the Adventures of Tin Tin until i heard about this project.

 

[Rac]

even at his worst.. he's still better than most things out now.

so i dunno what you're talking about lol

Agreed

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
War of the Worlds
Minority Report
Amistad
The Lost World: Jurassic Park

 

[DorkyFresh]

what're you talkin' about? Minority Report was cool!

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
War of the Worlds
Minority Report
Amistad
The Lost World: Jurassic Park

And all those movies were still better than a lot of the garbage others have released.

 

[Rac]

Who are these so called "others"?

The Good, The Bad, The Weird was better action/adventure popcorn flick than Indy IV could ever dream to be.
Cloverfield was better alien invasion film than War of the Worlds.

I just died a little inside.

I should add that I thought Cloverfield was pretty crappy, but I enjoyed it more than Spielberg's happy happy joy joy WotW.

 

[Doctor Jones]

Wow in God's name was it happy happy?!

Countless bodies floating in the river with a little girl watching? A plain crashing in fron tof a house, countless bodies, a father running around with people being zapped out of their skins, with their skins being on Cruise and has to brush them off, a son who runs into the line of fire, Cruise killing a man while a girl is forced to not look. Freaking aliens invading earth.

The son didn't die.

 

[Octoberist]

yeah, i didn't buy that (the son surviving). or it wasn't written well enough that it could work. Also the fact that the family and the house was okay at the end.

 

[Carmine Falcone]

Too bad that the thread got so off topic. But hell, I might aswell just put in my 2 cents about the War of the Worlds movie. They should have just adapted the original novel (which is brilliant) and have it take place in 1898. I mean, an Alien Invasion flick taking place in that time would be much, much cooler than lazily updating the story to 2005.

 

[Hunter Rider]

I think setting it contmepary was the way to go, I didn't want see a bunch of ye olde speaking farmers vs Aliens, I loved the movie.

Anyway, is this gonna be more aimed at kids than say the Indy market ?

 

[Carmine Falcone]

I didn't want see a bunch of ye olde speaking farmers vs Aliens,

I would have LOVED to see that. That would have made it something special, instead of the generic, over directed Cruise vehicle (riddled with GAPING plotholes aswell, and I never really are about plotholes) that we got.

Also, it should have take place in England. Every ****ing Alien movie takes place in America.

Sorry, for going even further off-topic.

Monsters vs. Aliens....we are the country aliens ever seem to land in.

I disagree, I hate it when movies are set in my country and I felt it worked much better as it was, rather than the farmers angle that led to me giving up on the book after a few chapters.

I'd argue the so called "plot holes"" but then we'd really fly off topic.

 

[french joker]

Spielberg and Jackson are Dupond and Dupont

 

[terry78]

Off topic, but the guys that did that Homer and Mario just did Stewie...

Good lord.

 

[Carmine Falcone]

sweet.

Is that in regards to the movie and context at hand, or do you just generally dislike all films set in England/Britain?

 

[dark_b]

the dots on the face are interesting. they are glowing like they are lighting itself. the black suits are also different .

on the wall in the background we see pics.


nice to see jackson and spielberg on the set making a movie. great.
