POSTERS

Nice poster. In europe, going to see this film is a no-brainer. But how are they marketing it in the US? Tintin is rather unknown in the US, or?

I think they're mainly pointing out that it's Spielberg & Peter Jackson, also the great animation and the epic adventure.

Looks awesome. Sure to be a hit

I´m sorry people, this will be soulless drivel. They´re obviously doing the best they can with yesteryear´s mocap animation tech and your typical Hollywood bombast but it´s really not good enough AT ALL for a Tintin adaptation. He deserves better and now I´m sad.

So after 2 trailers and a poster for a yet to be completed movie and you call it this way now?   Give it a rest and how about waiting till you see the movie BEFORE passing judgement.

Why are you saying "they're going all out and doing anything they marketing this"? They released a trailer and some posters, how is that going all out? I'm sorry, i don't want to troll, but... For me the worst thing about this movie is realizing americans call "Milo" Snowy, that's awful. I don't know, I don't see this being an amazing movie people will never forget, but it will do well. And I actually liked Polar Express, I think that movie was a great Xmas movie.

Well, I really meant all out marketing on the posters and the materials. Plus they brought Tintin to Comic-Con too, Spielberg and Jackson were there, that's pretty big. But with this poster and the trailers they have released, they're not holding back at all, we're getting a full look at everything, everyone in it and so on. That's what I mean. Isn't the dog's name Snowy? That's what he's called: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snowy_%28character%29

In the USA yes, but the original name is Milou http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milou. It's such an iconic name that it's hard for me to listen to them calling him Snowy, that's all, but i get it 😛

Except we haven't seen Daniel Craig's character, Red Rackham. And Toby Jones's Silk has only appeared in the trailer. So no, Alex, we're not getting a full look at *everything*, just a good chunk of it. Suffice to say they're confident that they've avoided the Uncanny Valley, and aren't obscuring their characters' faces out of fear of a Mars Needs Moms-type backlash, like a lesser company might have done.

did they drop the 'Secret of the Unicorn' subtitle?

With a script co-written by Doctor Who's Steven Moffat, this could be big.

I love Spielberg, but... why does it feel like the announcement of yet another Jurassic Park is to make sure his bankability (as a film maker, not as a person) stays high?

Is there anyway to get/buy the poster?

Still looks lame. Spielberg's and Jackson's names are tiny on the poster. And Tintin has no brand value outside Europe.
