Big Names Backing Tintin Flicks

See what happens when old people control the money!

DreamWorks is planning to do a few movies based on the Tintin books.

Do we even remember who Tintin is????

Steven Spielberg, one of DreamWorks’ heads, is going to direct the first film.

And, Lord of the Rings movie mastermind Peter Jackson will direct the sequel and serve as a producer on the first film.

The first Tintin film will be based on two books, The Secret of the Unicorn and Red Rackham’s Treasure.

Are you excited about this project?

We aren’t!

Guess it’s a baby boomer thing.
