Spielberg's 'Tintin' sets 2011 release date, two months after most of the world
Mr. Hole the Magnificent
'Adventures' to hit theaters in December 2011
By TATIANA SIEGEL
Steven Spielberg's "The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the
Unicorn" will hit U.S. theaters in December 2011 -- long after bowing
internationally.
Paramount Pictures and Sony Pictures Entertainment unveiled plans to
release the motion capture pic Stateside on Dec. 23, 2011. But in an
unusual move, film will launch internationally in late October and
early November 2011, with Sony Pictures Releasing Intl. handling
Continental Europe, Eastern Europe, Latin America and India, and
Paramount distributing the film in Asia, Australia, the U.K. and all
other English-speaking territories.
The two studios also revealed that they will release "Tintin" in 3-D,
a move that had been mulled for several months. Insiders said the
dailies convinced them that 3-D would offer the best rendition.
Film, which began production in late January, is the first of a
planned series based on the iconic character created by Georges Remi,
better known to the world by his pen name "Herge." The second feature
in the series is scheduled to be directed by Peter Jackson.
The decision signals the two studios' belief that the property, which
has been translated into 70 languages, shows stronger potential
overseas than domestically. Not surprisingly, the film's cast skews
international with Brit Jamie Bell starring as the intrepid young
reporter. Daniel Craig, Andy Serkis, Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, Gad
Elmaleh, Toby Jones and Mackenzie Crook round out the cast.
Spielberg, Jackson and Kathleen Kennedy are producing the pic, which
will compete for North American audiences against Warner Bros.' "Happy
Feet 2" and Disney/Pixar's "The Bear and the Bow." Nick Rodwell,
Stephane Sperry and Ken Kamins are exec producing.

Hopefully, the World will end in Nov. 2011.

There must be some _new_ 3D in the works that is sharper than anything
else made by man then.

That tendency to prefix "Rin" to the movie's title is probably as good
a reason as any for opening it outside the U.S. ...

What a total dipshit.

Like every other asterisk-troll, he's afraid of being three-strikes
pulled by his ISP who might, um, *suspect* he was career-trolling.

That sounds na�ve, Dirk. There might have been another, but I know
of only one ISP who ever censored anyone for being a "troll". That
was Road Runner, and they no longer even carry USENET. You and a few
others here are trolls, IMO, but I would never even consider the
possibility of you (or anyone else I consider a troll) being
censored. Whining and murmuring won't do you no good.

I, for one, the fuck care about Tintin and have for years. I read my
daughter all the Tintin books when she was little, some 20 -22 years
ago. Who the fuck are you to worry about what others care about?
I agree with Alexia... why the fuck to censor yourself with using the
word fuck when you don't censor yourself when saying other, more vile
words?
You're a fucking douche bag moron.

(AGAIN: Because he's already gotten three strikes from his current ISP
several years back.
And despite a lot of "Yeah, I can get another one" posturing and showy
troll-shtick saber-rattling, like the late lamented Tony G, he's afraid
that using *real* cusswords in his vanity-trademark trolling will
convince his server that he actually IS using his Usenet account to
voluntarily violate TOS rules, as set forth in the agreement.
Buck...buck...buck...) :)

Well yes, but Rich is supposed to a Canuk, so you see....
Plus he don't like no cartoons, cause they're fer kids. See?
I contend he is narrow minded as the medium (animation) transcends
Saturday Morning 'cartoons' and it is just tha same as comparing
watercolors vs oil painting, etc. It's what you make of it.
That said, I remember Tintin (& Snowy and the Capt) and I hope they
(them, there, those guys) can produce a quality product and do the
source material justice.

Also, specifically, that it was north-of-the-border Nelvana that
produced the cartoon series of recent memory, which we thought he'd know
better than us Nickelodeon-watching Southerners did:

Or, that he gets one easy unresearched line off, everyone piles on him
for the dopey mistake, and he thinks if he repeats again enough times
it'll become a Wacky Recognized Trademark...
(Um, no, not really.)
