Steven Spielberg has confirmed that he is likely to co-direct one of the Tin Tin movies with Peter Jackson. There will be three in the series and one of them could see the two teaming up.
Steven Spielberg was talking about how he saw the three Tin Tin movies being made:
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.
The quote comes from stuff through /film. So not one, not two but three Tin Tin films. The first film should start filming this autumn. Seems strange that they would co direct, I wonder what that's going to look like...

These movies about old TV shows are killin' me.
Once in this TV history class we learned about the overwhelming number of pilots that got made in the 50s but never aired. I would love to find some of those and make movies out of them. I bet there are some awesome ones, just rotting away in Grandpa's garage somewhere. Now he's retired from selling insurance, but once he dreamed of being a big TV producer. Most are probably just awful, but I bet a lot of them would actually be cool!
I'm sorry but I have to break my silence to respond to this.
Tintin is not an "old TV show." Tintin is a 70-year-old series of 24 world-famous Belgian graphic albums (created from 1929 to 1976) that are considered milestones in the history of narrative art and European popular culture. The Tintin stories were written and drawn by Georges Remi (or "Hergé"), a Brussels-born soldier and illustrator whose creation has been called one of the greatest cultural achievements of the Twentieth Century. Charles De Gaulle called Tintin "my only international rival;" the Tintin stories have been translated into fifty languages and more than 200 million copies of the books have been sold around the world. There is a Tintin museum in Brussels and a Tintin-themed theme park in Walabi. Andy Warhol, Sting (who wears a "Tintin" sweater in his "We'll be Together Tonight" video), David Bowie, Sayyajit Ray and others are die-hard fans of Tintin and the books (and original wartime comic strips) are universally lauded as among the greatest graphic arts creations ever made.
I'm still pretty sure I don't want to see Tintin moving around on a screen at all. It's just too weird.
Ah. Mystery solved. Jules was asleep when I saw her comment but revealed this morning she thought this was about Rin Tin Tin, the old TV show with the dog.
I was pretty puzzled about that as she probably made the comment while sitting on the couch from which you can see my Tintin collection on the bookshelf. Score yet another blow for "pramnesia."
I got really into Rin Tin Tin when I was a little kid. This was before VCRs so for a while my dad would wake me up super early on weekdays. Much like Will Robinson on Lost In Space, I totally wanted to be that kid Rusty. Here he was just a kid and he was living on a fort and having adventures...and what had I done?
It's so weird that I mixed up Tin Tin with Rin Tin Tin. But I guess it's no weirder than finding a fork in my purse, which also happened. I have no memory of why, how, or when I put that fork in there.
I also say a lot of fun stuff. Like we got a big box of clementines and I said, "We have to eat those soon. They go fast really bad."
I can't remember friends' names. A lot. It's so great to have an iphone at times like that.
Brain no worky while pregnant. It's been amusing. I hope it stops once I give birth. I mean, you have to laugh, or it would just be scary.
