Steven Spielberg and Peter Jackson have teamed up to produce the first full-length cinematic production of The Adventures of Tintin, based on the popular Belgian comic strips.

The first choice of the plot for the first film is, of course, a Unicorn-themed swashbuckling-mystery story! (OK... so there will not be any actual unicorn-pirates in this movie, but the plot is still just as exciting! Think elusive pirate treasures, adventures at sea, and a mysterious pirate ship named the Unicorn...and of course Tintin's trusty, adorable dog, Snowy at the helm!)

Daniel Craig, Jamie Bell, and Andy Serkis star as the voices of Red Rackham, Tintin, and Captain Haddock, respectively.

The film will be a CGI, 3-D, unicorn adventure! I can't wait!

Release date: December 2011 (USA), October 2011 (UK).

The Unicorn Daily News will be following this story until its release date, so come back often for more updates on all things Tintin and Unicorns!
