Tintin UK premiere set to take place
23 October 2011 Last updated at 11:38 ET
Stars are set to attend the UK premiere of Steven Spielberg's take on Herge's classic comic character, Tintin, in London's Leicester Square.
The Adventures of Tintin: Secret of the Unicorn tells of how the intrepid reporter sets off on a treasure hunt for a sunken ship with Captain Haddock.
Billy Elliot star Jamie Bell portrays the hero in Spielberg's computer-generated 3D animation.
The film had its world premiere in Belgium on Saturday.
It uses motion-capture techniques similar to those used in Lord of the Rings, King Kong and Avatar, where actors wear special suits which record all movement.
The data is then transformed into a computer-generated three dimensional image.
The film also stars Daniel Craig as criminal Ivanovich Sakharine, Simon Pegg as Inspector Thompson and Andy Serkis as Captain Haddock.
First created in 1929 by Brussels-born author Georges Remi, who wrote under the name Herge, Tintin books have sold more than 220 million copies around the world.
Spielberg said he hoped his film would find fresh fans in the US, where the character is not as well known as it is in Europe.
"American audiences will look at this as an original movie," the director - who bought the rights to the character in the 1980s - told reporters.
"Hopefully, if it is successful in America, perhaps for the first time in 80 years the books will start being published in America."
Belgian press were broadly positive about the adaptation, with Belgian French-language magazine Le Vif writing: "Action and humour dominate in a very pleasant spectacle."
French daily Le Soir added: "Herge would have loved this Tintin, full of character."
