Details have been revealed about the first of three Tintin movies to be released.
The first movie will be based on the Secret of the Unicorn and Red Rackham's Treasure, Tintin comics written between 1942 and 1944.
They are considered, even by their creator, to be the best in the 23-book series.
The film is a partnership between Stephen Spielberg's production company Dreamworks and Peter Jackson, with Weta Workshop.
