Steven Spielberg's 'The Adventures of Tintin' Opens in Theaters on November 30

From Oscar-winning director Steven Spielberg and Oscar-winning producer Peter Jackson - two of today’s most visionary storytellers - comes a 3D motion picture event: an epic, globe-hopping quest that spans hidden mysteries, menacing criminals and ancient secrets, and brings to dazzling life the classic escapades that have enthralled generation after generation with their one-of-a-kind mix of action, humor and scintillating tale-spinning in "The Adventures of Tintin." The movie, released under United International Pictures, will be shown in Metro Manila cinemas beginning November 30.

Based on the internationally beloved and irrepressible characters created by Hergé, the story follows the unquenchably curious young reporter Tintin and his fiercely loyal dog Snowy as they discover a model ship carrying an explosive secret. Drawn into a centuries-old mystery, Tintin finds himself in the sightlines of Ivan Ivanovitch Sakharine, a diabolical villain who believes Tintin has stolen a priceless treasure tied to dastardly pirate named Red Rackham. But with the help of Snowy, the salty, cantankerous Captain Haddock and the bumbling detectives Thompson and Thomson, Tintin will travel half the world, outwitting and outrunning his enemies in a breathless chase to find the final resting place of The Unicorn, a shipwreck that may hold the key to vast fortune.... and an ancient curse.

From the high seas to the sands of North African deserts, every new twist and turn sweeps Tintin and his friends to escalating levels of thrills and peril, proving that when you dare to risk everything, there’s no limit to what you can do.

The film is directed by Academy Award winner Steven Spielberg from a screenplay by Steven Moffat and Edgar Wright and Joe Cornish based on “The Adventures of Tintin” by Hergé. The film’s acclaimed international ensemble is led by Jamie Bell (Billy Elliot) as Tintin, Andy Serkis ("The Lord of the Rings" trilogy) as Captain Haddock, Daniel Craig ("Quantum of Solace") as Sakharine, Nick Frost ("Shaun of the Dead") and Simon Pegg ("Star Trek") as Thomson and Thompson, Toby Jones ("Harry Potter" films) as Silk, Mackenzie Crook ("Pirates of the Caribbean" trilogy) and Daniel Mays ("The Bank Job") as Tom and Allan, and Gad Elmaleh ("The Valet") as Ben Salaad.
