================================================== =================
Hollywood heavyweights Steven Spielberg and Peter Jackson are set to tackle a new film trilogy about beloved comic strip journalist and adventurer Tintin.

Both filmmakers have long been fans of the heroic young character, who was created by Belgian illustrator Georges Remi, under the pen name of Hergé.

In March, Moulinsart Studios, which holds the rights to Tintin, announced that Spielberg and his company, Dreamworks, had committed to producing at least one Tintin film.

Spielberg, Dreamworks and Jackson have been quietly developing the new project, according to the industry publication Variety.

The Tintin trilogy will feature work by Jackson's New Zealand-based special effects house, WETA Digital, which was behind the amazing effects in his acclaimed The Lord of the Rings trilogy.

I think it'll work out well. But I have my doubts (as usual) that it'll be a faithful translation. It'll be more like a "based on" type of work.

I like Tin Tin too. Even if it is partially French.

I have the DVD releases from Australia.
