There’s a new poster for The Adventures of Tintin 3D and it opens up the doors for the floating heads part of the campaign. Starting with the last trailer there was no more hiding the fact that this is a Zemeckis-style motion-capture film. The faces are out there, and now there they float on the poster that is also filled with the sea ship, ocean, and desert imagery we’re now used to. Take a look…
I wonder if we’ll be seeing a bigger push on Andy Serkis and “the studio that brought Rise of the Planet of the Apes to life” in future trailers or ads…

There dead, unblinking eyes will haunt me always.
Looks like an animated film. Er, sorry, I mean OH MY GOD I’M SO TERRIFIED OF THEIR EYES JESUS CHRIST THEIR UNBLINKING EYES ARE GOING TO EAT ME!
There. My Internet cover remains intact.
Can we somehow move past the souless, lifeless eyes thing already? Polar Express was, what about 8 years ago? Technology has advanced since then. Anyways the movie looks like a fun piece of escapism.
Yes, let’s move past the scientifically proven phenomenon of the Uncanny Valley, can we, huh?
Starting to think these movies are some kind of fucking Voight-Kampf test for Aspergers Syndrome Empathy-Voids. Curious to see how you replicants would deal with the Kuleshov Effect. Would you even be able to tell the difference between the dude’s face and the inter-cut images, let alone project anything resembling an emotion or feeling? If you don’t think something’s “off” about those faces (beyond stylistic choice), then there’s something broken in your fucking heads.
Uncanny Valley doesn’t apply to stuff that’s, y’know, SUPPOSED to look like a cartoon.
The floating heads look OK there is some expression on their faces. Tin Tin on the other hand looks like a miniquin

FWIW, Herge was able to get a lot of characterization into Tintin’s face with just a few squiggles (granted, the range of emotions he had to express was pretty limited); be interesting to see if they can capture that peculiar expressiveness. I mean, Serkis and Pegg and Frost have my ticket sold anyway…
“You know their eyes? Dead eyes. Like a dolls eyes…” Ah, remember when Signor Spielbergo made really great films…
If the intent here was to create such a generic movie poster, that I would instantly forget it as soon as I look away from it, then….it’s a roaring success!
