Peter Jackson will direct the sequel to ‘The Adventures Of Tintin’ right after ‘The Hobbit’ - Polidicks

[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/2ebDv.jpg[/IMG] [release]It’s not exactly news that Peter Jackson and Steven Spielberg agreed to take on one entry each in their planned Tintin trilogy. But now the two filmmakers have finally given some official confirmation that Jackson will get to work on the second film once they receive the go-ahead from their studio backers. “Sony and Paramount were willing to do one movie with us and then give us the financial wherewithal to develop a script, do all the visual storyboards and get it really in launch position. So we can launch pretty quickly on a second movie. The script is already written,” Spielberg explained to the Hollywood Reporter. The script, or at least one of the drafts, comes from author Anthony Horowitz, who was hired last year to develop a story based on an amalgam of two adventures: Prisoners Of The Sun and The Seven Crystal Balls. The finished product will likely be called [B]The Adventures Of Tintin: Prisoners Of The Sun[/B] and find the boy reporter and Captain Haddock investigating the spread of a mysterious illness that befalls explorers who dared to violate a scared Incan tomb. Of course, we’ll have to wait once more – Jackson is a little busy right bringing the two Hobbit adventures to life. But with the positive buzz the first Tintin is already getting, it could well end up a big success at the box office, which would in turn trigger the necessary approval for him to work on the sequel when he’s finally ready. And who knows? Maybe someone else could step in for the second movie and Jackson could switch to the third. Either way, the good news is that we're pretty much certain to see Professor Calculus in the next outing, and that can only be a good thing.[/release] [url]http://www.empireonline.com/news/story.asp?NID=32317[/url]

Sweet, the animated version of Prisoners of the Sun was one of my favorites as a kid

Amazing! He's not fat anymore!

Aw.. Why is he turning away from Halo so much.

Holy shit YES!

I love Peter Jackson. He's my favorite director.

Looks like the extension I have does justice to him [img]http://puu.sh/7BnL[/img]

Seeing Tintin this friday. The one complaint most of the reviewers seem to mention is that there's never really any time to breathe, because once you think "Wow, that was a great action scene" they throw in another action scene, and another, and another... Jackson likes to make long movies so hopefully he'll make it a tad slower. Though Prisoners of the Sun has less action than "The Crab with the golden claws", "Red Rackham's treasure" and "The secret of the Unicorn", so hopefully it won't be a problem.

And I really hope they include this scary fucker [img]http://images.wikia.com/aventurasdetintinymilu/es/images/a/ac/Rascar1.jpg[/img]

[QUOTE=Moby-;32971719]Because it doesn't need to be a movie.[/QUOTE]It's a good idea for a movie. It's a story I have never seen in any movie out there. Halo CE plays like a movie to me, if it were an actual one I would bone that shit for days.

[QUOTE=Shiftyze;32971683]Aw.. Why is he turning away from Halo so much.[/QUOTE] As much as I like the Halo games, I never thought it had a great story. Good enough for a video game but not a movie in my opinion. The Marathon story although confusing, was a lot better to me and I think it would make a good movie since it's not like the games are heard of anymore.
