    MUMBAI: The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn has become the highest opening animated film in India, according to Sony Pictures India.

    Said Sony Pictures India Managing Director Kercy Daruwala, “Not only is the animated genre gaining ground amongst all age groups in India, but Tintin is unique in the sense that the franchise is enjoyed and appreciated by a very wide audience right from kids to adults who grew up on Tintin.


    There is an amazing passion for both the franchise and the film in India with even celebrities like Aamir Khan giving the film an enthusiastic thumbs-up. Naturally, this is reflected in the wide release the film is getting in the country. The film’s collections have increased day upon day and we expect to see the film sustain strongly based on excellent word of mouth.”


    The film also garnered 3.5 to 4 ratings amongst all major reviewers.

  • Spielberg returns to make Jurassic Park 4

    Spielberg returns to make Jurassic Park 4

    MUMBAI: Twenty years after he made Jurassic Park, director Steven Spielberg has hinted of his return to making such films all over again.


    Speaking at the Comic-Con International convention in San Diego, Spielberg said that he was at work on a new Jurassic Park film that delighted the audience in a packed house at the pop culture showcase.


    “We have a story. We have a writer working on the script and I think we will see a Jurassic 4 in our foreseeable future, probably in the next two or three years, averred Spielberg.


    It may be noted that Jurassic Park thrilled audiences in 1993 with its modern-day dinosaurs developed from DNA in fossils that wreaked havoc upon a theme park where, instead of enjoying the wonders of science, the guests got eaten.
    The fim, that spawned two sequels took in $ 915 million worldwide.


    Spielberg was at the Comic-Con for the first time where he showed the audience clips from his upcoming film The Adventures of Tintin, produced by Peter Jackson who made Lord of the Rings.


    It is scheduled for release in December this year.
