CinemaBlend has the official poster for “The Adventures of Tintin,” starring Jamie Bell, Andy Serkis, Daniel Craig, Nick Frost, Simon Pegg, Toby Jones, Mackenzie Crook, Daniel Mays and Gad Elmaleh.

The poster looks conventional, and I do have to agree with the site with CinemaBlend’s Katey Rich when she writes that the poster suffers from “Floating Head Syndrome”. I know what the poster was going for–those vintage-type collage posters–but something’s a little off. Maybe there’s too much fade-away around the neck areas of the main characters. I also have to agree that the teaser poster produced so much more of a punch than this official poster.

However, We do get a much wider scope of the type of action that will be found in this movie, what with the cannon-balled pirate ship sails and Tintin zooming around on his motorcyle, about to fly out of the poster. Overall, the poster does its job.

Here’s the official synopsis of “Tintin”:

Paramount Pictures and Columbia Pictures Present “The Adventures of Tintin” directed by Steven Spielberg from a screenplay by Steven Moffat and Edgar Wright & Joe Cornish. Starring Jamie Bell (“Billy Elliot,” “Defiance”) as Tintin, the young reporter whose relentless pursuit of a good story thrusts him into a world of high adventure, and Daniel Craig (“Quantum of Solace,” “Defiance”) as the nefarious Red Rackham.

Based on the series of books “The Adventures of Tintin” by HergĂ©, the film is produced by Steven Spielberg, Peter Jackson and Kathleen Kennedy.
