Apr 17 2009From the Set of 'Tintin': Actors in Motion Capture Suits
Empire has been on location on the set of Steven Spielberg's chapter of the Tintin trilogy, The Secret of the Unicorn, where the magazine took the above shot of actors Jamie Bell and Andy Serkis motion-capturing their respective parts as Tintin and Captain Haddock. The shot obviously reveals nothing about the look of the film, but I have to say, Serkis is doing a pretty good job masking his resentment that he has to wear one of these futuristic American Gladiator suits every fucking time Peter Jackson gets near a camera. Well done, Gollum.

Come on. Andy Serkis loves those suits. I don't think the guy actually owns a real wardrobe.

It would have been funny for a 'behind the scenes' clip with Bruno coming in for shooting wearing his anatomically correct pink jumpsuit. Spielberg's face would be classic. Ah, well....
(see the Bruno movie trailer for what I mean)

It will never sit right with me to see Peter Jackson all skinny like that.

if Spielberg would get a decent haircut and drop the combover he wouldn't have to wear a ball cap
