Synopsis
From Oscar® winning director Steven Spielberg and Oscar® winning
producer Peter Jackson, two of today’s most visionary
storytellers, comes a 3D motion picture event: an epic,
globe-hopping quest that spans hidden mysteries, menacing criminals
and ancient secrets. Bringing to dazzling life the classic escapades
that have enthralled generation after generation with their
one-of-a-kind mix of action, humour and scintillating tale spinning
in THE ADVENTURES OF TINTIN.
Based on the internationally beloved and irrepressible characters
created by Hergé, the story follows the unquenchably curious young
reporter Tintin (Jamie Bell) and his fiercely loyal dog Snowy as
they discover a model ship carrying an explosive secret.
Drawn into a centuries-old mystery, Tintin finds himself in
the sightlines of Ivan Ivanovitch Sakharine (Daniel Craig), a
diabolical villain who believes Tintin has stolen a priceless
treasure tied to dastardly pirate named Red Rackham.
But with the help of his dog Snowy, the salty, cantankerous
Captain Haddock (Andy Serkis) and the bumbling detectives Thompson
& Thomson (Simon Pegg and Nick Frost), Tintin will travel half
the world, outwitting and outrunning his enemies in a breathless
chase to find the final resting place of The Unicorn, a shipwreck
that may hold the key to vast fortune, and an ancient curse.
From the high seas to the sands of North African deserts, every new
twist and turn sweeps Tintin and his friends to escalating levels of
thrills and peril, proving that when you dare to risk everything,
there’s no limit to what you can do.
The film is directed by Academy Award® winner Steven Spielberg from
a screenplay by Steven Moffat and Edgar Wright & Joe Cornish
based on “The Adventures of Tintin” by Hergé.
Produced by Steven Spielberg, Peter Jackson and Kathleen
Kennedy, with Ken Kamins, Hergé Estate’s Nick Rodwell and
Stephane Sperry as executive producers.
The film’s acclaimed international ensemble is led by Jamie Bell
(BILLY ELLIOT) as Tintin, Andy Serkis (THE LORD OF THE RINGS
Trilogy) as Captain Haddock, Daniel Craig (QUANTUM OF SOLACE) as
Sakharine, Nick Frost (SHAUN OF THE DEAD) and Simon Pegg (STAR TREK)
as Thomson & Thompson, Toby Jones (THE HARRY POTTER films) as
Silk, Mackenzie Crook (PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN Trilogy) and Daniel
Mays (THE BANK JOB) as Tom and Allan, and Gad Elmaleh (THE VALET) as
Ben Salaad.
THE ADVENTURES OF TINTIN will be released worldwide in RealD 3D and
IMAX 3D.
