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.

    I'm not at all familiar with the "Tintin" series, but I have a bad feeling about it already. Does anybody remember the end of AI? Yeah. I thought so.
