Our first glimpse at Tintin was a bit of a tease: a few choice shots, moody and stylized that fit the magic of any upcoming Steven Spielberg film. Most American audiences don’t have any idea what’s in store for them when the name “Tintin,” pops up in a title and the initial spot didn’t intend on revealing anything.
But now, with a new international trailer for The Adventures of Tintin, we finally have a taste for the style, scope and splendor of Spielberg’s team up with director Peter Jackson and his WETA special effects company (the brains behind Lord of the Rings).
