The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn
Directed by Steven Spielberg
Opens Dec. 23
Aided by his faithful dog, Snowy, Tintin is a young Belgian newspaper reporter who leads a life of mystery and adventure in a series of comic books created in 1929 by the writer and illustrator known as Hergé. Successful in America but truly beloved in Europe, the Tintin stories have long appealed to Steven Spielberg, whose dream of bringing them to the screen comes true with this stop-motion 3D film. This is the first of a projected trilogy, the second of which will be directed by coproducer Peter Jackson. If all goes well, the two men will direct the third installment.
We Bought a Zoo
Directed by Cameron Crowe
Opens Dec. 23
It’s a plot worthy of a John Irving novel: In 2006, English newspaper columnist Benjamin Mee decided, in partnership with his aged mother and four siblings, to buy a dilapidated 30-acre zoo and its 200 animals. Mayhem followed, and then tragedy, as Ben’s wife suffered a recurrence of brain cancer. Matt Damon stars in this adaptation of Mee’s memoir from Jerry Maguire director Crowe. Scarlett Johansson, Thomas Haden Church, Elle Fanning, and Patrick Fugit (the young reporter in Crowe’s Almost Famous) co-star. There’s no word yet on whether Crowe will keep the book’s English setting — the Accent Police are on alert.
