The first teaser trailer for "The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn" has just been unwrapped. The video, obtained via Apple, opens with a scene of Tintin entering a dark room, where he finds a replica of a ship. The preview also features action scenes, including the one where a plane crashes into a desert.

Recently, the first international and domestic posters for the animation film were unveiled. Although both of the posters feature silhouettes of Tintin and his dog, the two do not share a similar background. The international one-sheet offers a look at an airplane and a flaming ship, while the domestic one shows off a ship with the word "Unicorn" emblazoned on it.

The upcoming movie will follow Tintin's (Jamie Bell) first encounter with Captain Haddock (Andy Serkis) and the discovery of a clue to the treasure of his ancestor Sir Francis Haddock. They set out to find it with protection from a prison escapee, who tries to get the treasure, as well as Detectives Thomson (Nick Frost) and Thompson (Simon Pegg). The film is slated for December 23 release across the nation.
