Steven Spielberg pumps out movies like it's nobodies buisness. So it makes sense that people are already looking ahead to the movies that he'll be directing that havn't even had previews. One of those films is actually said to be a film trilogy based on the comic strip "The Adventures of Tintin."  It is going to be a motion capture movie, which means people are going to get in these weird little suits with dots all over them and they are going to be filmed, then put on the computer and have the characters digitally laid on top of them. The first film will be The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn, and is set to be released in theaters on December 28th, 2011.

The originial "Adventures of Tintin" was a comic strip that was then turned into a radio and TV series. I remember seeing some versions of it but only vaguely, but I can see that based on the pictures that the movie is going to be a real treat for those who loved the original comics.
