Spielberg & Jackson's 'The Adventures Of Tintin: Secret Of The Unicorn' Trailer Is Released 7 Months Early
Director Steven Spielberg and producer Peter Jackson have teamed up for a motion-capture 3D collaboration in Paramount / Columbia / Nickelodeon’s The Adventures of Tintin: Secret of the Unicorn. The trailer for the widely anticipated film based on the globally loved books has pushed into the media vein seven months before the movie is set to premiere. Video lunch is served!
Notes Mashable, anticipation level is so high for the release of the film that even a fake trailer received over 60,000 views by telling viewers "Wait, don’t leave!" and then teasing them with a handful of images.
Per the official TinTin film site:

At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.
But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else.
