It's no secret that Steven Spielberg and Peter Jackson have been hard at work on their latest project, the film adaptation of classic comic The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn. Sony Pictures just released a picture of the two of them from the set and it reveals three very important pieces of information.
One: the movie is being shot at Giant Studios, a company that specializes in motion capture. This confirms that the movie will be motion capture...which we knew before so, OK not so important.
Two: Spielberg and Jackson are single handedly trying to bring the bowler hat back in fashion. In fact, Tintin.com has a clip of both Jackson and Spielberg with their Tintin-esque hats and umbrellas celebrating Tintin's 80th birthday at a comic book convention.
Three: Seeing Peter Jackson so skinny is kind of bizarre. In fact, it looks so unlike Jackson that the folks at Estreno De Cine didn't even catch it was him in the picture. Frankly I miss the old fat hobbit-y Jackson, but I'm sure his new healthy look is going over better with European Tintin fans.
You can see the full image over at Estrenos De Cine. The movie stars Daniel Craig, Jamie Bell, Simon Pegg, and Andy Serkis, all of whom are providing not only their voices but motion captured performances. It hits theaters in 2011.
