Sneak peek: Jamie Bell voices the intrepid reporter as Steven Spielberg brings Tintin to the big screen

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Leaping off the page: Jamie Bell voices intrepid reporter Tintin in the long-awaited film adaptation of the Herge book series


Having bought the film rights to Tintin 28 years ago, Steven Spielberg's big screen vision of the stories has been a long time coming.

But for fans of the intrepid reporter, they've been given a hint of things to come as the first trailer for the Tintin movie was released online.

A one minute trailer of The Adventures Of Tintin: Secret Of The Unicorn - the first in a proposed trilogy of Tintin movies - premiered online ahead of its release in December.



Trusty sidekick: Tintin gets a helping hand from his pet dog Snowy as he fights an enemy


The motion-capture animated film sees Spielberg returning to the director's chair with Lord Of The Rings' Peter Jackson producing.

Hoping to stay faithful to Tintin creator Herge, aka George Remi's, memory, Spielberg enlisted Edgar Wright, Doctor Who scribe Steven Moffat and Joe Cornish to helm the script.

Providing the voice of the adventurer is Billy Elliot star Jamie Bell, with Daniel Craig as the nefarious Red Rackham.


We've got our eyes on you: Simon Pegg and Nick Frost voice bumbling detectives Thomson and Thompson


Of course, Tintin's escapades wouldn't be complete without his trusty canine sidekick Snowy.

The cast is predominantly British with Simon Pegg and Nick Frost playing bumbling detectives Thomson and Thompson.

Andy Serkis - who famously was captured on motion capture to play Gollum in Lord Of The Rings - voices Tintin's best friend Captain Haddock, while The Office star Mackenzie Crook voices a smuggler.


Giving chase: Tintin is on the hunt for a good story


Little is being given away about the plotline with only fleeting glimpses of the characters in the trailer.

The trailer opens with Tintin carrying a torch searching an empty room as a voiceover warns 'I don't think you realise this, but you're about to walk into a whole mess of danger.'

A shadowy Tintin is seen lifting a dust sheet off a display box - what it contains is unclear - as he tells Snowy: 'Look at this...'


Follow that boy: Thomson and Thompson give chase


As Tintin is heard asking: 'A unicorn... what secrets do you hold?' we are given a quick look at Thomson and Thompson - spotted spying on Tintin through holes in a newspaper.

As a voice is heard saying 'how could you let them escape?', Tintin is seen punching a man in the face as he tries to flee a boat cabin.

In snapshots of scenes a plane is seen crashing in the desert, Tintin is seen chasing someone in a blue car and a pirate ship tries to navigate a stormy sea.


Danger: A plane is seen crashing into pieces in the desert


Spielberg said: 'We are going to make three Tintin movies back-to-back. I'll direct the first one, Peter will direct the second one. We'll probably co-direct the third one.'

Over 200 million copies of the Tintin books have been sold worldwide since they were first published as a comic strip in 1929.

The books have been translated into 70 languages.

Penelope Cruz on dream job with Pirates Of The Caribbean star

By JODY THOMPSON

On set: Johnny, Penelope and Ian McShane in a still from the forthcoming new movie


Spanish beauty Penelope Cruz has revealed that she only knew two phrases in English when she moved to the U.S. to try and make it in the movies - and one of them was 'I want to work with Johnny Depp'.

The star, who turned 37 last month, revealed that it was her dream to work with the 47-year-old star - and that the only other English words she knew when she arrived in Hollywood were 'How are you?'

Penelope, who was born in a suburb of Madrid, first worked with Johnny a decade ago in movie Blow and they have remained close friends ever since - so she explained she jumped at the chance to work with him again on Pirates of The Caribbean: On Stranger Tides.

She explained: 'When I first came to America I only knew two phrases in English. One was, "How are you?" and the other was, "I want to work with Johnny Depp."

'Then after I worked with him on Blow, I learned how to say, "I want to work with Johnny Depp again!" He’s very addictive and he just gets better and better over the years.'


Shiver me timbers: Penelope plays Angelica in the movie, an old flame of Johnny's Captain Jack Sparrow, and the daughter of Ian McShane's Blackbeard


However, she explained there was a slight problem with working with him again - trying not to laugh during shooting.

She told the Mirror: 'The only problem is he has a very peculiar sense of humour – and even though I know all his tricks, he can still crack me up.

'I can’t stop laughing when we are working so we had a few problems on the set. One time we were stuck for two hours and couldn’t finish the scene because we couldn’t stop laughing.'



Avast me hearties! Huge banners advertising Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides went up on the facade of the Carlon Hotel in Cannes ahead of the 64th Cannes Film Festival this month


Oscar-winner Penelope also revealed that they have a shared love of animated comedy show South Park - and Johnny created a fancy dress outfit based on the show's Mr Hanky The Christmas Poo that she had to wear as a forfeit on set.

Penelope laughed: 'Johnny made this outfit for me and we had a bet which I lost. And I had to wear the Poo outfit on the set.


Pirates Of The Caribbean: On Stranger Tides opens in cinemas on May 18.

At the time, she was married to fellow actor Jon Tenney, who recently starred in U.S. drama Brothers and Sisters. However, the pair divorced in 2003.

Who invited the elephant? Robert Pattinson and Reese Witherspoon upstaged by wrinkly star at Sydney premiere

By GEORGINA LITTLEJOHN

I don't want to! Robert Pattinson starts laughing as Reese Witherspoon hands him some biscuits to feed their elephant friend at a photocall for Water For Elephants in Sydney this morning


This morning they hosted a press conference at the city's Luna Park, an amusement park next to the harbour.

It's a commonly used adage in showbusiness that you should never work with children or animals.

But we bet that Robert Pattinson and Reese Witherspoon would have preferred a few unruly kids to the elephant that managed to upstage them yesterday.

The pair are in Sydney where tonight they will attend the premiere for their new film Water For Elephants.


A little upstaged? Witherspoon and Pattinson smile for the cameras next to the elephant before looking at it in bemusement


Pattinson, dressed casually in jeans and a brown shirt, and Witherspoon, who wrapped up in skinny jeans and a thick woollen polo neck jumper, were joined by the film's director Francis Lawrence but were then surprised as they were joined by a mystery guest - an Indian elephant.

Their new friend left them in giggles as she had a little accident on the pavement.


You do it: Witherspoon gives Pattinson some more biscuits to keep the elephant happy


Despite working with an elephant while making the film, Pattinson seemed reluctant to feed the guest star, as Witherspoon handed him some biscuits.

And despite shying away, the Twilight star claimed that working with animals was one of the main reasons he took the role in the film, which is based on the book by Sara Gruen.

Speaking at the press conference he said: 'Francis Lawrence said he wanted to have a meeting and he took me out to the elephant sanctuary where Tai [who plays Rosie the elephant] lives and I saw her doing a handstand and stayed there for about four hours playing catch with her.


You're at the wrong end: Witherspoon and onlookers laugh as Pattinson gets a surprise


'I would literally throw a ball and she would catch it in her trunk and throw it back to me, and I was like, "OK, even if this movie is the worst movie ever made, I get to work with this elephant for three or four months. I'm definitely doing it".'

Witherspoon also spoke about her 'incredible experience' preparing for her role in the film in which she plays circus performer Marlena.

She said: 'I got to train with Ty the elephant for three months. I went to circus school to learn how to do trapeze and acrobatics. It was a unique experience but it was also daunting and scary.'


Chic and simple: Reese looked casual but glamorous in skinny blue jeans, Louboutin heels and a black polo neck jumper


The pair flew straight to Sydney from London where they had attended the premiere in Westfield Shopping Centre in west London.

They also found time to make an appearance on the Graham Norton Show where they both admitted they had fallen in love with Ty.

Witherspoon said: 'She is amazing, thoughtful and communicative', while Pattinson added: 'I genuinely thought we had a real bond, a little something going on.'

Pattinson looks glum next to Reese Witherspoon at Barcelona premiere

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER


Smile R-Patz! Water For Elephants co-stars pose on the red carpet in Barcelona for the Spanish premiere but Robert Pattinson has trouble cracking a smile next to Reese Witherspoon


They've been jet-setting around the world promoting their new film over recent weeks, but Robert Pattinson looked like he'd rather be somewhere else last night as he posed with Reese Witherspoon in Barcelona.

The on-screen lovers were celebrating the Spanish premiere of Water For Elephants but as they stood arm in arm together on the red carpet, R-Patz couldn't crack a smile.

Pattinson held Reese around the small of her back but their affection looked more awkward than anything else.


Show of affection: Pattinson held Reese around the small of her back as they both posed on the red carpet in Barcelona


After having promoted the film in Paris the day before in a little red dress, Reese slipped on a knee-length black strapless LBD and matching heels for last night’s viewing.

While the Twilight saga star looked smart in a grey suit and unbuttoned blue shirt alongside his trademark dishevelled hair.

Both stars then took a break from posing, before entering the cinema, to sign autographs for fans.

Earlier in the day Reese had still been in France and was taking advantage of the Parisian shopping district by perusing the stores with her bodyguard.

The 35-year-old tried to dress incognito in skin-tight jeans and a denim shirt but was still recognised by onlookers.

By EMILY SHERIDAN

Kiss me quick: Russell Brand and Katy Perry kiss for the cameras at the UK premiere of his film Arthur at Cineworld at the O2 Arena in London


They've spent a large amount of their six month marriage apart due to their busy work schedules.

So perhaps Katy Perry and Russell Brand were catching up on lost time as they put on a passionate show for photographers at the London premiere of his film Arthur.

Currently enjoying a break in her California Dream World Tour, Perry played best supporting wife to Brand as he walked up the red carpet at the O2 Arena in Greenwich.


Bare essentials: Perry wore a floor-length mermaid asymmetrical gown by Philip Armstrong with diamanté embellishments and matching nude platform heels


Brand, 35, who takes on Dudley Moore's role in the remake of the Eighties classic comedy, looked unusually dapper in a blue suit and grey tie.

And after spending the past few months clean-shaven, it looked like Brand's facial hair was making a return.
