Spielberg acquired rights to produce a film based upon the Adventures of Tintin series following Hergé's death in 1983, and following their subsequent lapse, re-optioned them in 2002. Filming was due to begin in October 2008 for a 2010 release, but release was delayed to 2011 after Universal opted out of producing the film with Paramount, who provided $30 million on pre-production. Sony chose to co-produce the film. The delay resulted in Thomas Sangster, who had been originally cast as Tintin, departing from the project. Producer Peter Jackson, whose company Weta Digital provided the computer animation, intends to direct a sequel. Spielberg and Jackson also hope to co-direct a third film.[7]
The world première took place on October 22, 2011 in Brussels.[8] The film was released in the UK and some other European countries on October 26, 2011, and in the USA on December 21, 2011, in Digital 3D and IMAX.[9]
The Adventures of Tintin received generally positive reviews from critics,[10] and became a box office success with a worldwide gross of over $373 million.[4] It also won the award for Best Animated Feature Film at the 69th Golden Globe Awards.[11] Williams was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Original Score. It was also nominated for six Saturn Awards, including Best Animated Film, Best Director for Spielberg and Best Music for Williams.[12] This is currently the highest grossing Nickelodeon animated film.
