Spielberg to Produce Live-Action Tintin Movie (s)

Posted by Hemos on from the mmmm...tintin dept.

jtauber writes "Looks like the Adventures of Tintin may be the next series of books to be turned into a film franchise with Spielberg in talks to acquire the rights. See the Marlinspike for more information." Tintin was one of my favorite "book" type comics growing up - and they've released collections.

      Spielberg is greatly overrated as a director, methinks. In all his movies save one (Schindler's List) he very easily falls back on sentimentality to make his point, rather than good directing.

      Compared to the late, great Kubrick, or Soderbergh, he's a hack.

    "Nooooooooooooooo!!!!! Don't let this happen. LoTR is attractive for two reasons. The gourgeous writing, and the european feel.

    Jackson is going to produce some stupid action film that glosses over all the subelties and ruins LoTR for the next generation."

    Gimme a break. How many times have we heard this fanboy crap before? STFU before you pass judgement. Rendering something in one medium doesn't destroy it in another, unless YOU let it.
