The Adventures of Tintin

[Octoberist]

ideally, i would like TinTine to look like that, without breaking that "Uncanny Valley" thingy.

Jackson said that they will be photorealistic but will still look like the drawings.

 

[Doctor Jones]

That sounds cool.

 

[Silver Knight]

Is this going to be live action?

Is this going to be live action?

Guess.

Jackson said that they will be photorealistic but will still look like the drawings.

 

[Silver Knight]

Guess.

I dont know, thats why I asked.

 

[Octoberist]

i think he was being sarcastic. we were in a middle of a conversation about the realism of the CGI. actually the whole thread has been talking about the CGI, so it's not hard to miss

 

[Silver Knight]

I have not read the whole thread. So its going to be all CGI?

 

[Octoberist]

yes

 

[Silver Knight]

Thanks bud.

 

[Octoberist]

your very welcome! now you owe me your soul!

Jackson said that filming for the Steven Spielberg-directed "Tintin" movie, which Jackson is producing, is in the can, but it will take two years for the computer animation to be completed. "'Tintin' is great. It's made. The movie is cut together and now [we] are turning it into a fully-rendered film. So the movie, to some degree, exists in a very rough state."


i think they will start rendering in dec or jan with full force. avatar is finished so they can focus only on tintin

 

[Armored Avenger]

avatar is finished so they can focus only on tintin

Weta are also doing the effects for The Hobbit movies, the first of which is coming out the same month as Tintin.

more like a stylized designe with photorealistic textures.

 

[xwolverine2]

yeah like Avatar's blue people lol

 

[terry78]

Saw this in an Archie book at Borders and thought about how a detailed Tintin might look.

 

[Dark Victory]

Wow, I haven't heard of this 'til now. A motion captured adaptation of Tintin sounds strange and awesome at the same time.

 

[Sarg92]

It should be awesome with Spielberg and Jackson working on it and on top of that they are using Cameron's technology that was developed for Avatar.

New Book May Prove An Embarrassment To Spielberg


An English translation of a 1996 biography of Hergé, the creator of the Tintin graphic novels, may prove to be an embarrassment to Steven Spielberg and Peter Jackson, who are making a two-part movie based on the Tintin character. (Part one is due to hit the screen next year.) Hergé: The Man Who Created Tintin, written by Pierre Assouline and translated by Charles Ruas, paints Hergé, who died in 1983, as a racist, an anti-Semite, and a Nazi collaborator. Unlike previous writings about the Tintin creator, Assouline's book benefits from the fact that the author was given unrestricted access to Hergé's letters. "The facts are damning," wrote Toronto mental health researcher/writer Jessica Warner in Saturday's Toronto Globe and Mail. She notes that throughout World War II, according to the book, Hergé worked for a Belgian collaborationist newspaper, Le Soir -- and never looked back on that period with regret. "While everyone found it normal that a mechanic made trains run, they thought that people of the press were supposedly traitors," he wrote after the war. Towards the end of the war he wrote a story in which Tintin was kidnapped by militant Zionists. (After the war he changed the villains to Arabs.) That Spielberg chose to collaborate with a collaborationist -- he began direct negotiations with him in the late '70s -- may come as a shock to Jewish groups who have hailed his Schindler's List and his personal contributions to Israel. (Tour guides at Hebrew University point to his name on a wall listing million-dollar contributors.) However, one Hergé defender notes that when his early works are republished these days, they appear in black and white, "which help identify them as youthful follies."

 

[Secret Fawful]

Bull. He was talking to him about Tintin. This is complete bull.

 

[terry78]

Since this comes out next year, do they plan on releasing a trailer anytime soon?
