BOB MARLEY: ONE LOVE Featurette

Peter Jackson & Steven Spielberg Talk Tin Tin

A highlight of day 3 at Empire Presents... Big Screen came in the adventuresome shape of The Adventures Of Tintin: The Secret Of The Unicorn clips. Peter Jackson and Steven Spielberg recorded a special message, reminiscing together about their first ever meeting: yup, on stage at the Oscars. As you do.

Spielberg elaborated on the origins of their partnership: “When I’d finally got a [Tintin] story I was happy with, and the beginnings of a script, I wanted a feasibility study to see if I should do the movie in live action. I need a CG Snowy for this so I went to Peter’s company, Weta Digital.” Jackson took up the tale, explaining how he’d asked Weta's team to rustle up a Captain Haddock costume, before donning the threads himself and acting out some scenes on the Weta back-lot. “I couldn’t think of anyone better to play Captain Haddock than me," laughed the director.

The CG Snowy was added and the footage sent to the set of War Of The Worlds. “I immediately forgot Snowy,” explained Spielberg, “as all I could see was Peter. That’s when I asked Peter to work with me on this series of Tintin movies.”

Spielberg explained how the idea of a live-action Tintin was quickly kiboshed and Weta hired to digitise the boy wonder's capers. "I’m thrilled that Tintin is a CG movie,” enthused Jackson. “While you can adapt the characters and story for live action, it’s never going to look like Tintin. We’ve made it true to the look of Hergé’s books.”

Backing that claim up, the sizzle reel took Tintin (Jamie Bell) from a noir-y, bullet-riddled encounter in his apartment block to his first meeting with the oft-sozzled Haddock (Andy Serkis) aboard a freighter to a hairy encounter with a hostile seaplane. It’s an expansion on the vignettes from the trailer and it looks fab. The spectre of those mo-cap dead eyes looks to have been completely banished by Weta’s bleeding edge work. These characters feel real.

All part of the grand plan, stressed Jackson. “We wanted Hergé, from some faraway place, to approve of our efforts.” We think the famous Belgian will be feeling pretty stoked.

Sex Tape Review: Overly Sexual, Rude, Vulgar, and Absolutely Hilarious

The raunchy Sex Tape will divide audiences and critics, but who cares? Sex Tape suggests a growing practice among loving partners: that of making a raunchy testament of their escapades for posterity. But what happens when that evidence gets seen by friends, neighbors, and even the mailman? This is the plot that pits Jay (Jason Segel) and Annie (Cameron Diaz) in an effort to secure every iPad gift Jay has given, his record company playlists being the envy of the recipients, but which has also inadvertently spread the video to every device. The reason for the act - termed in the movie as pulling "the full Lincoln " for its three-hour length - stems from the couple's non-existent social life, brought on by the constant demands of their children. The couple has a lot to lose: a burgeoning business relationship between Annie and Hank (Rob Lowe) could end if the iPad she's given to Hank exposes the video, and so the couple sets out to reclaim and wipe the incrim
