The Adventures of Tintin

[dark_b]

i think tintin will NOT have a 100% cartoon designe. it will be stylized. plus i dont expect 100% realistic skin texture. something like maybe updated The incredibles?

when making a CGI character it doesnt matter how you loko but how you act.

Yeah, but still... I have my doubts...

Or they could just be making him a late teenager.

That would suck.

When I read the TinTin books in elementary school I always thought of him as no older than in his mid to late teens.

I never once got the impression he was a "grown man".

He's definitely twentysomething (or older).

 

[Carmine Falcone]

WHAHAHA! That's awesome.

 

[Carmine Falcone]

.......that Homer is absolutely terrifying though....

 

[SuperBatman]

Tintin is not a kid...

Well Thomas Sangster. isn't really a Kid he's 17 according to sources I found on the Internet. So He's pretty much a Teenager.

 

[Octoberist]

Homer is freaking scary

 

[Sugarculted]

I'd love to see Michael Emerson as Tintin, tbh. Just get rid of that creepy vibe he gives off whilst he plays Ben in Lost, and I could imagine him in the role.

 

[Figs]

I don't know how old Tin Tin is supposed to be let alone the boy they cast...all I have to say is that kid has a F***ING Neck!!

yes, yes he does

 

[BMM]

.......that Homer is absolutely terrifying though....

Yeah, a little bit.

 

[Rac]

Wow... I never noticed the neck!

Seeing how Spielberg is directing the first one, I'd love to see Indiana Jones make a cameo in the film. Maybe not even a speaking part but just some character in the background with a fedora, possibly being chased. They take place in the same time period, that would be great. Then have a character cameo from PJ's King Kong for the second one.

really?

^^Okay, chill with the cameo bit.
The only way I can see the being cool is if somewhere in the movie there is a background movie poster for the two films other than that..no.

The Tintin adventures take place in the 1930s/1940s the same as King Kong and Indy. And when I say cameo I don't mean having a speaking role, just in the background that you'll likely won't see unless someone points it out. Like R2-D2 and C-3PO in the Well of the Souls from Raiders.

Didn't see this posted.

Steven Spielberg reveals more Tintin plans

Steven Spielberg and Peter Jackson may go a step further in their plans for three Tintin movies - by jointly directing the third instalment.

Spielberg raised the possibility before the release of his latest film, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, which had its premiere at the Cannes Film Festival at the weekend.

"We are going to make three Tintin movies back-to-back. I'll direct the first one, Peter will direct the second one. We'll probably co-direct the third one."

It was too early to say which of the Tintin books would be filmed. The first would start in September.

Spielberg had never heard of Tintin till 1981, when a film critic compared his first Indiana Jones adventure, Raiders of the Lost Ark, to the books.

Some are calling it a great display of passion and integrity, others an act of minor lunacy.

Steven Moffat has turned down a $1 million movie deal with Steven Spielberg so he could take on his dream job of running the British international hit sci-fi series "Doctor Who" says The Daily Mail.

The BAFTA-winning scriptwriter, who created such shows as "Coupling" and "Jekyll", had signed a $2 million contract to write the first two scripts for a trilogy of "Tintin" films that Spielberg and Peter Jackson are directing.

Moffat completed the first one just before the writers' strike hit and he couldn't start on the next. During the strike he was offered the "Doctor Who" job and accepted immediately.

Moffat, taking over for Russell T. Davies who has been in charge of the show since its revival in 2005, has penned the most acclaimed episodes of the new show's first four seasons so far - thus his eventual hiring had long been set in place before the offer officially came.

As the show is very demanding, Moffat felt he couldn't handle both projects at once and so had to drop one. Spielberg himself, a big fan of the show, "understood my passion for the series completely" says Moffat and let him out of the contract.

It's a bold move - the job as 'Who' producer involves not only a lot more work but a paycheck only about 30% of that which he'd get for penning the second "Tintin" script.

Yet the show has been an ambition of Moffat's since he was a kid, and while not very well-known in the United States (then again neither is "Tintin"), an average new 'Who' episode reaches a global audience of about 250 million.

Moffat begins his 'Who' writing duties right away though his episodes won't begin airing until March 2010.

It's unsure now who'll pen the second "Tintin" project which is slated to be directed by Peter Jackson sometime in 2009. Spielberg gets to work filming the Moffat-penned first film later this year.

Oh, you Brits and your Doctor Who. I have to say he has balls for turning down The Beard....stupid as hell, but balls.

Peter Jackson Directing First Tintin Movie, Not Spielberg

 

[terry78]

The first episode will be based on two of the books, “The Secret of the Unicorn” and “Red Rackham’s Treasure,” written by Tintin creator Herge between 1942 and 1944.

I'm gonna have to find these two and give them a read.

Found a piece from Red Rackham's Treasure.

 

[dark_b]

this will be very quick since they will be using camerons new technology for motion capturing.
right?

 

[Carmine Falcone]

Nice, The Secret of the Unicorn is one of my favorites.
