Tintin
KickThatBathProf:
Did anyone else read these books as a child? I had a few dozen of these comic books and was probably the only thing I read in my earlier years.
But hey, now there's a movie coming out in 2009 that I am rather excited about. I'm not so keen on it being all 3-d animation, but Peter Jackson's LotR crew is working on it. So, I think I can deal with it.
KickThatBathProf:
Yeah, I'm skeptical too, but I'd at least like to see it in film format and summarily see whether it captured the spirit of the comic books or it completely drops a steaming pile on them.

They will never work in any other format.

I think there were two or three animated movies (something with sharks?) that worked pretty well. The real life action was heinous.
Isn't Spielberg directing?
The guy who played Gollum in the Two Towers is playing Captain Haddock...

I saw a car yesterday with the license plate "OTTOCAR." Is it odd that the first thing that came into my mind was tintin?

From wikipedia:
Spielberg is collaborating with Peter Jackson for a motion capture film trilogy, starring Thomas Sangster and Andy Serkis. Spielberg and Jackson said a live action adaptation would not do justice to the comic books. The story will be taken from among the twenty-three Tintin books published between 1929 and 1976. Spielberg is directing the first film, and filming begins in September 2008.

Yeah, I think there were three or so made in the 60s. That shark one, Temple of the Sun are the ones I remember seeing. i think there was an earlier one too. Those live action ones were indeed terrible.
