CS said:"We want Tintin's adventures to have the reality of a live-action film, and yet Peter and I felt that shooting them in a traditional live-action format would simply not honour the distinctive look of the characters and world that Herge created."
that has to be one of the weakest, non-sensical, excuses i have ever heard about making a movie in CG.. (and people complain about Lucas?) and not using real actors..
face it, in America, no one cares about tin tin, not even if they get a famous actor, because they
would never be able to find anyone (or maybe Shia Lebouf won't be doing anything, shudder)..
that would want a role like that.. ('talking' dog?????)
so what does he say? he wimps out, and says they'll go the cheap route and use CG..
total cop-out..
good job on losing your credibility spielberg..
