Steven Spielberg: Director of a Tintin Movie

One of the greatest living film directors, probably the most successful ever, he has been behind more blockbusters than anyone else. His films, Jaws, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Indiana Jones, ET, Jurassic Park and Saving Private Ryan have all had a huge impact on popular culture and set high standards in film making. On the downside he can be horribly smultzy with lovable small children and heavy handed moralizing. His track record of adaptations, e.g. Jaws, Schindler’s List, War of the Worlds and Minority Report, shows that he has an understanding of the sources though he is not afraid to pull the key aspects of the story out and rework everything around them. Whatever Spielberg’s Tintin movie comes out like, we can be assured of high production values and great sense of mainstream entertainment.

Peter Jackson -Director of one Tintin Movie

Jackson is a director with vision and the drive to get that vision on screen. Starting with Bad Taste, a low budget aliens-takening-over-a-small-town-and-eating-everyone horror film, Jackson has known what he wanted to get on the screen. His latest films, the oscar winning Lord of the Rings and the lavish, 3 hour remake of the King Kong show that he can sensitively handle his source materials which is good news for Tintin fans worried about the movie.

According to FilmStew.com:

..there will be no honey bunny for Tintin in the first of three motion capture animation films now being planned for 2009 release by the formidable tandem of Peter Jackson and Steven Spielberg.

This according to an anonymous Moulinsart estate company source quoted in London’s The Times newspaper. Says he or she: “I’m sure the accountants in Hollywood would love some of that in there, but they can’t do it. We have approval over that just to make sure they don’t totally ruin it . . . But there is room for some artistic license.”
