It would seem anticipation for Steven Spielberg‘s The Adventures of Tintin is growing with every new trailer released so is it wrong to assume this latest international trailer will be any different? Of course, there is also that pesky doubt improved trailers can pose as we learned from Green Lantern earlier this year. However, when a new trailer for a Spielberg film begins conjuring comparisons to the filmmakers earlier and much loved work I think it’s safe to assume people are liking it for what they’re seeing, not for what they’ve been duped into perceiving.
With that I give you the latest UK trailer for Tintin, which is set to hit theaters on December 21, although it will be arriving across the pond on October 26 as the US and Canada will be among the last territories to see it… outside of our readers in Brazil who will have to wait until January 20, 2012. I know I have a few Brazilian readers around these parts and I would just like to say sorry about that.
