Turn Loose the Unicorn

First came the tease...now it’s time for the almost-payout.

I’m taking about an actual first trailer for this Christmas’ The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn.

Click here to check out the preview for the Steven Spielberg-directed spectacle, which will see out fair-haired hero (voiced by Jamie Bell) happen upon a model boat containing an invaluable clue leading to treasure...and danger.

Andy Serkis and Daniel Craig co-star in the motion-captured movie produced by Peter Jackson, as Captain Haddock and the nefarious, yet-to-be-teased pirate Red Rackham, respectively.
