#THE ADVENTURES OF TINTIN BOX OFFICE SERIES#
Spielberg acquired rights to produce a film based upon the Adventures of Tintin series following Hergé's death in 1983, and following their subsequent lapse, re-optioned them in 2002. It is the first-ever animated film for both Spielberg and his longtime collaborator, composer John Williams. Directed by Steven Spielberg, produced by Peter Jackson, and written by Steven Moffat, Edgar Wright and Joe Cornish, the film is based on three of Hergé's albums: The Crab with the Golden Claws (1941), The Secret of the Unicorn (1943), and Red Rackham's Treasure (1944). The Adventures of Tintin (known as The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn outside North America) is a 2011 American epic 3D motion capture computer-animated adventure film based on The Adventures of Tintin, the series of comic albums created by Belgian artist Hergé. Both men agree to continue the adventure. There, in the cellar, they find some of the treasure, and a clue to the location of the sunken Unicorn. With the three scrolls in their possession, Tintin and Haddock find that the indicated location is Marlinspike Hall, and that the hall had been built originally by Sir Francis Haddock. Haddock is eventually victorious and Sakharine is promptly arrested by Thomson and Thompson. Haddock and Sakharine, who is revealed to be the descendant of Red Rackham, replay their ancestors' swashbuckling sword fight, using dockside cranes, swords, and even bottles of whisky. Tintin chases him back to Europe and arranges a police reception for him on the dockside. After a chase down to the harbour, pursued by Tintin and Haddock, Sakharine finally escapes with all three scrolls. Sakharine's plan is to stage a concert involving famous diva Bianca Castafiore (Kim Stengel), the "Milanese nightingale", whose penetrating singing voice will be able to shatter the glass case, allowing Sakharine's trained hawk to fly down and steal the third scroll. The third model ship is in Bagghar, in the possession of the wealthy Omar Ben Salaad (Gad Elmaleh), but it is encased in a bullet-proof glass display case.
