The True Hollywood Reporter ran a story earlier today about Peter Jackson taking over directorial duties on the first installment of Tintin, a film that was to supposed to be helmed by Steven Spielberg. That information has now been proven false. In a follow-up story, Spielberg has corrected the news, which originally came from Brussels' Herge Studios, home to Tintin. He says that he remains committed to directing this first film in a proposed trilogy. It will be his first directorial gig since jumping behind the lens on this summer's Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.
Both Peter Jackson and Steven Spielberg denied that there were any changes to their original plan of attack. Jackson still plans on directing the second film, and will serve as a producer on the first.
Apparently this lil dude (Thomas Sangster) is set to play as Tin Tin.. i dont really see it in him.. but oh well... as long as he delivers... NO HOMO!
And the talent behind Gollum from lord of the rings, Andy Serkis will be playin as Captain Haddock... i can actually picture this dude as Haddock... so no worries over here..While Peter Jackson was supposed to direct the second film, it is not known whether he will continue down that path, or if another unnamed director will step in to continue the trilogy. This first Tintin episode is based on two of the original books entitled The Secret of the Unicorn and Red Rackham's Treasure. The script is by Stephen Moffat, best known for his work on Doctor Who.
The film will be animated using new motion-capture technology. The film was originally set to be released in 2009, but we may not see it until 2010.
