Sneak peek: Jamie Bell voices the intrepid reporter as Steven Spielberg brings Tintin to the big screen

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Leaping off the page: Jamie Bell voices intrepid reporter Tintin in the long-awaited film adaptation of the Herge book series


Having bought the film rights to Tintin 28 years ago, Steven Spielberg's big screen vision of the stories has been a long time coming.

But for fans of the intrepid reporter, they've been given a hint of things to come as the first trailer for the Tintin movie was released online.

A one minute trailer of The Adventures Of Tintin: Secret Of The Unicorn - the first in a proposed trilogy of Tintin movies - premiered online ahead of its release in December.



Trusty sidekick: Tintin gets a helping hand from his pet dog Snowy as he fights an enemy


The motion-capture animated film sees Spielberg returning to the director's chair with Lord Of The Rings' Peter Jackson producing.

Hoping to stay faithful to Tintin creator Herge, aka George Remi's, memory, Spielberg enlisted Edgar Wright, Doctor Who scribe Steven Moffat and Joe Cornish to helm the script.

Providing the voice of the adventurer is Billy Elliot star Jamie Bell, with Daniel Craig as the nefarious Red Rackham.


We've got our eyes on you: Simon Pegg and Nick Frost voice bumbling detectives Thomson and Thompson


Of course, Tintin's escapades wouldn't be complete without his trusty canine sidekick Snowy.

The cast is predominantly British with Simon Pegg and Nick Frost playing bumbling detectives Thomson and Thompson.

Andy Serkis - who famously was captured on motion capture to play Gollum in Lord Of The Rings - voices Tintin's best friend Captain Haddock, while The Office star Mackenzie Crook voices a smuggler.


Giving chase: Tintin is on the hunt for a good story


Little is being given away about the plotline with only fleeting glimpses of the characters in the trailer.

The trailer opens with Tintin carrying a torch searching an empty room as a voiceover warns 'I don't think you realise this, but you're about to walk into a whole mess of danger.'

A shadowy Tintin is seen lifting a dust sheet off a display box - what it contains is unclear - as he tells Snowy: 'Look at this...'


Follow that boy: Thomson and Thompson give chase


As Tintin is heard asking: 'A unicorn... what secrets do you hold?' we are given a quick look at Thomson and Thompson - spotted spying on Tintin through holes in a newspaper.

As a voice is heard saying 'how could you let them escape?', Tintin is seen punching a man in the face as he tries to flee a boat cabin.

In snapshots of scenes a plane is seen crashing in the desert, Tintin is seen chasing someone in a blue car and a pirate ship tries to navigate a stormy sea.


Danger: A plane is seen crashing into pieces in the desert


Spielberg said: 'We are going to make three Tintin movies back-to-back. I'll direct the first one, Peter will direct the second one. We'll probably co-direct the third one.'

Over 200 million copies of the Tintin books have been sold worldwide since they were first published as a comic strip in 1929.

The books have been translated into 70 languages.

Penelope Cruz on dream job with Pirates Of The Caribbean star

By JODY THOMPSON

Firm friends: Penelope Cruz, seen here with Johnny Depp at the Pirates Of The Caribbean: On Stranger Tides premiere in Los Angeles last week, said he's always making her laugh


Spanish beauty Penelope Cruz has revealed that she only knew two phrases in English when she moved to the U.S. to try and make it in the movies - and one of them was 'I want to work with Johnny Depp'.

The star, who turned 37 last month, revealed that it was her dream to work with the 47-year-old star - and that the only other English words she knew when she arrived in Hollywood were 'How are you?'

Penelope, who was born in a suburb of Madrid, first worked with Johnny a decade ago in movie Blow and they have remained close friends ever since - so she explained she jumped at the chance to work with him again on Pirates of The Caribbean: On Stranger Tides.


On set: Johnny, Penelope and Ian McShane in a still from the forthcoming new movie


She explained: 'When I first came to America I only knew two phrases in English. One was, "How are you?" and the other was, "I want to work with Johnny Depp."

'Then after I worked with him on Blow, I learned how to say, "I want to work with Johnny Depp again!" He’s very addictive and he just gets better and better over the years.'


Shiver me timbers: Penelope plays Angelica in the movie, an old flame of Johnny's Captain Jack Sparrow, and the daughter of Ian McShane's Blackbeard


However, she explained there was a slight problem with working with him again - trying not to laugh during shooting.

She told the Mirror: 'The only problem is he has a very peculiar sense of humour – and even though I know all his tricks, he can still crack me up.

'I can’t stop laughing when we are working so we had a few problems on the set. One time we were stuck for two hours and couldn’t finish the scene because we couldn’t stop laughing.'



Avast me hearties! Huge banners advertising Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides went up on the facade of the Carlon Hotel in Cannes ahead of the 64th Cannes Film Festival this month


Oscar-winner Penelope also revealed that they have a shared love of animated comedy show South Park - and Johnny created a fancy dress outfit based on the show's Mr Hanky The Christmas Poo that she had to wear as a forfeit on set.

Penelope laughed: 'Johnny made this outfit for me and we had a bet which I lost. And I had to wear the Poo outfit on the set.


Pirates Of The Caribbean: On Stranger Tides opens in cinemas on May 18.

'The reason they're on this journey is much bigger than any one of them. It has to come to a head at some point,' he says.

'This is it, really. This is the end of the line,' Rupert Grint, who plays Harry sidekick Ron Weasley, adds.

After spending months searching the country for Voldermort's horcruxes - the source of his power and immortality - in order to defeat, Harry and his friends will eventually return to Hogwarts for the final showdown.

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Sky high: Emma Roberts needs a helping hand to walk in towering heels as she heads for a meeting at the United Talent Agency in Beverly Hills yesterday


Not every woman is capable of walking in a pair of six inch platform heels and it appears that young actress Emma Roberts is one of the unfortunate few who struggle.

The 20-year-old star required the help of a friend to assist her as she attempted to walk in a pair of staggeringly high black platform Christian Louboutin pumps yesterday.

Emma paired the over sized shoes with a pair of dark skinny jeans, a white T-shirt and a beige Chanel jacket as she headed into a meeting at the United Artists Agency in Beverly Hills.


Crazy high: The Christian Louboutin heels were over six inches tall


The skinny jeans paired with the huge heels highlighted Emma's very slim and petite frame making her look scarily skinny.

As she stood next to a parking meter, feeding it with change the actress appeared almost a slender as the meter itself.

The 20-year-old star recently revealed that she keeps trim by pole dancing.
Appearing on the cover of Women's Health in a crop-top and jeans the upcoming star reveals the fruits of her labour and bares her taut tummy.


Short change: The petite actress is almost as slim as the parking meter


She tells the U.S. fitness magazine: 'I started taking [pole dancing] classes with friends as a way to both work out and hang out.

'You don't realise how much upper-body strength you need. It's also a good way to build confidence.'

Roberts, who is currently promoting her upcoming movie Scream 4, also joked about her family's famous trademark by admitting: 'We Robertses have too many teeth for our mouths.'

The actress is the daughter of Julia's borther Eric Roberts and began her career appearing as an extra in America's Sweethearts.

She then rose to fame playing famed children's book character Nancy Drew in a 2007 film adaptation.

'You're the one, Em': Brad Womack proposes to Emily Maynard in the tear-jerking finale of The Bachelor

By Daily Mail Reporter


On bended knee: Brad Womack proposed to single mother Emily Maynard on the tear-jerking finale of The Bachelor last night


He caused major controversy when he rejected DeAnna Pappas and Jenni Croft in his first Bachelor spell, but Brad Womack finally found the woman of his dreams when he proposed to Emily Maynard, last night.

The 38-year-old got down on bended knee and presented the single mother with a stunning Neil Lane diamond ring in the tear-jerking finale of The Bachelor.

The tragic stricken beautiful blonde who lost her fiancé in a car crash six years ago, blinked back tears in the emotional moment that fans had been waiting for.


'You're so much more to me than a leap of faith. You're the one, Em," Brad told her.

'I love you...You're my once in a lifetime.'

Brad said all of the words the 24-year-old had been waiting to hear as the couple stood in the sunset strewn gardens of famous golfer Ernie Els Wine Estate in Cape Town, South Africa.

'I'm asking you to give me your forever. Please let me be your best friend, let me protect you and your beautiful daughter and please give me the opportunity to love you for the rest of your life,' he said.

Determined: Brad said all of the words the 24-year-old had been waiting to hear as the couple stood in the sunset strewn gardens of famous golfer Ernie Els Wine Estate in Cape Town, Africa

The sparkler: Brad presented Emily with a stunning Neil Lane diamond ring


Brad, who had been previously dubbed 'The Cad' after his last disastrous 2007 Bachelor finale, admitted to Emily that he had made mistakes in the past, but that she had changed all of that.

I've gone through so much to get to where I am today. I've made so many mistakes and had so many ups and downs,' he said.

'I always believed that when the time was right, I'd find the woman that I've been looking for for my entire life.


Happiness: The moment that Emily found out that she going to be the next Mrs Womack

Emotion: A speechless Emily, could barely contain her tears as she accepted his proposal


'I knew it would take opening up ways in I wasn't used to….All it took was coming here and finding you.'

After the romantic-filled moment, Brad took a moment of reflection.

'I'm confident that I chose the right woman,' he said. 'I'm even more confident in our love and that it's very real. I mean it.'

A speechless Emily, could barely contain her tears as she accepted his proposal.
'I'm just really, really happy,' she said.

'There's no question in my mind that Brad is the right person for me,' she said in her own reflection.

The final choice may have came as a surprise to some fans as earlier in the episode, it appeared that Emily may had ruined her chances of being Brad's fiancée.

Tenderness: The couple kissed and cuddled after the proposal


After their final date, she questioned Brad about his readiness to be a step-father to her five-year-old daughter Ricki.

Consistently reminding Brad that having a child is 'not always fun', he began to get frustrated with her.

'I don't think you're ready,' Brad told her, shaking his head in disbelief.

In retrospect, Emily was shattered about the outcome.

'I really just messed it up big-time,' she said. 'Every time something like this happens, my head absolutely sabotages my heart...and I screwed myself.'

And Brad was equally devastated.

'I'm completely defeated,' he said. 'This particular date is making me question everything.'

Doubt: Earlier in the night it appeared that Emily may had ruined her chances of being Brad's fiancée


But earlier it was clear that Emily had already come into the fold of Brad's world, especially when she won over his parent's with her 'down-to-earth' attitude.

After telling his family the story of how she lost her fiancé Ricky Hendrick in a plane crash whilst she was six-months pregnant, they were won over by her bravery as a single mother in the face of adversity, and willingness to let somebody into her life.

'My favourite thing that Emily said to me today was that Brad was her angel,' his mother Pam said. 'I think she's had a very difficult time...so I want this to be very good for her.'

Tears: Before proposing to Emily, Brad had the hard job of letting down other finalist Chantal O'Brien, who clearly didn't take the news well


Before proposing to Emily, Brad had the difficult task of letting down other finalist Chantal O'Brien, who clearly didn't take the news well.

Immediately the 28-year-old burst into tears when he broke the bad news.

'I don't know how else to say except I have strong feelings for someone else,' he told her.

After many sobs, with dignity, Chantal pulled herself together and said: 'You're an amazing person. Emily's very lucky. It just sucks because I felt so strongly.'

Excruciating ride home: Chantal left in a limo without a rose or Brad
