| Tintin Set For Big Screen |
This has got to be just about the coolest news in the history of the world ever!!
The directors of ET and the Lord of the Rings trilogy are teaming up to bring the adventures of Tintin, Belgium's famous globe-trotting reporter, to the big screen.
Yep, that's right Spielberg and Jackson are reported to be working on bringing Tintin to the cinema. According to the reports:
Spielberg and Jackson will joint-produce three back-to-back features, based on Hergé's comic book character, with each directing one film. It is as yet unclear who will direct the third movie. The films will be shot in 3-D, using motion capture technology, a technique by which an actor's movements are recorded and used to create an animated character. Jackson used the technique on the Lord of the Rings films to create Gollum.
Now, I have always been a big Tintin fan. I always though they were far more sophisticated than people would have you believe. The Blue Lotus is a phenomenal work mixing politics with old school adventure. The Tintin books have already been compared to some of the greatest works of literature. This could yet be one of Spielberg's finest work. I'll be keeping my fingers crossed anyway.Labels: Tintin |
