What's left behind the scenes

  • The film's plot is based on stories described in the comic books 'The Secret of the Unicorn' (issue No. 11, published in 1942-1943), 'The Crab with the Golden Claws' (issue No. 9, published in 1940-1941), and 'Red Rackham's Treasure' (issue No. 12, published in 1943-1944).
  • Spielberg first acquired the rights to adapt 'Tintin' after Hergé's death in 1983, and again in 2002.
  • Filming was scheduled to begin in October 2008, with a release expected in 2010. However, the release was postponed until 2011 after Universal withdrew from collaborating with Paramount, which had provided $30 million for pre-production. The delays led to actor Thomas Sangster, who had initially been cast as Tintin, leaving the project.
  • One of Simon Pegg and Nick Frost's mentors was choreographer and Cirque du Soleil star Terry Notary. He helped the actors synchronize their duet so that the blunders of the Duponts would look even funnier.
  • Snowy's test animation was performed by animators from Peter Jackson's Weta Digital. To demonstrate the capabilities, Jackson sent Spielberg a video in which the 'Lord of the Rings' director himself played the role of Captain Haddock, while a drawn Snowy spun around his feet.
  • Hergé believed that only Steven Spielberg could bring Tintin to life on the big screen. Unfortunately, the artist passed away shortly before his scheduled meeting with the director.
  • The comic books sometimes featured images of vehicles, such as a 1937 Ford and a seaplane. The drawings were so detailed that animators were even able to identify the model and year of manufacture.
  • Filming took place in a pavilion equipped with a performance capture Volume system. Approximately one hundred cameras were mounted around the perimeter of the ceiling, capturing everything in a 360-degree range and recording information in accordance with the position of each object and actor in space. Actors working in the Volume pavilion wore special suits with numerous mirrored markers, which were picked up by the cameras. This information was translated into a three-dimensional image. Props and sets used in the scenes were also equipped with similar markers. In addition, eight HD cameras filmed scenes as is, that is, directly the actors themselves. This material was subsequently used by animators to ensure that no grimace, smile, twitch, or other emotion and facial nuance went unnoticed. In addition to performance capture technology, facial capture technology was also used, recording emotions based on the distortion of facial lines. The actor wore a helmet that resembled a football helmet and to which a miniature video camera was attached, pointed at the person's face. It recorded the slightest movements of the eyes, lips, and key facial muscles.
  • This is Spielberg's first film in digital format.
  • When Spielberg made his first Indiana Jones film, 'Raiders of the Lost Ark,' fans of Tintin accused the filmmakers of plagiarism. Spielberg wasn't worried about the accusations themselves, but about the unfamiliar word 'Tintin.' With great difficulty, he found out what it was about and ordered several volumes of the comics from France without translation. He flipped through them, became interested. He found English editions. He read them in one sitting. He understood who he had been copying, unknowingly. Decades before Indiana Jones, Tintin combined detective work with archaeology – he uncovered conspiracies, exposed greedy capitalists, and discovered mysterious artifacts in the dust of time.
  • Spielberg received 'blessings' from Hergé over the phone for the film adaptation of the comics.
  • When Tintin sees the seaplane from the boat, he checks the number of cartridges in the Browning pistol he brought from the ship as follows: he removes the magazine, sees one cartridge in it, and tells the captain: 'We only have one cartridge.' This is not true – a second cartridge was in the chamber, in accordance with the pistol’s mechanism.

  • When Tintin on the boat sees the seaplane, he checks the number of cartridges in the Browning pistol he brought from the ship as follows: he removes the magazine, sees one cartridge in it, and tells the captain: "We only have one cartridge." This is not true – a second cartridge was in the chamber, consistent with the pistol's mechanism.
