Tintin Already Working on Sequels


Peter Jackson ("Lord of the Rings") and Steven Spielberg ("Indiana Jones," "Jaws," "E.T.") are teaming up to bring "The Adventures of Tintin: Secret of the Unicorn" to life, but there is a lot of mystery surrounding the project and how it is being made. The film will be animated and starts the voices of Daniel Craig, Simon Pegg and Jamie Bell and there is already word on sequels to the first film to make a complete trilogy.

According to First Showing, "We know that they finished shooting 'The Adventures of Tintin: Secret of the Unicorn' and are working on post-production, but apparently they're already in pre-production on the second one.

Jackson reveals, 'We were originally planning three to be in production at the same time in different stages, and we may well do that. At the moment we have this one and the studio[s] is financing the second one as well, which is in pre-production.' The studios he's talking about are Paramount and Sony, who have together decided to co-finance the film, but the last we heard, they hadn't given the second one a greenlight. They shot for 32 days earlier this year for 'Secret of the Unicorn', but a week of reshoots will take place in June, at Jackson's studios, 'so that any holes in Spielberg's original material might be patched.'"

So expect to hear more news on how they are making more Tintin films already.

The first film is due out sometime in 2010.
More news to come! Catch ya' later!
