Tintin is not dead! Ben Sherlock is a writer, comedian, and independent filmmaker. He's currently in pre-production on his first feature, and has been for a while because filmmaking is expensive. In the meantime, he's sitting on a mountain of unproduced screenplays. You can catch him performing standup at odd pubs around the UK that will give him stage time. Much like the next Tintin film, details of that project remain scarce. Thank you for visiting! Follow Film Stories on Twitter here , and on Facebook here.
Jackson was so enthused about the prospect that he sent Spielberg an early test reel where he stepped into the role of Haddock himself. Both Spielberg and Jackson were fascinated by the potential of 3-D. Jackson was coming off of the failure of The Lovely Bones , and Spielberg himself had expressed dissatisfaction with the route that Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull took.
In one of the most baffling release strategies in recent memory, The Adventures of Tintin opened within days of another Spielberg film, War Horse. Tintin was also shockingly shut out of the Best Animated Feature category at the Academy Awards, the same year War Horse became a top Best Picture contender and John Williams earned nominations for both scores.
A third film was also planned. Yet, the targeted date continued to slip by. Jackson was beleaguered by his arduous Hobbit experience, and Spielberg continued to find new projects. However, as is evidenced by the lack of glorious Tintin sequel in our lives, the film fell through. Jackson was busy at the time wrangling the Hobbit trilogy and claimed that once that franchise was complete, he would return to working on Tintin.
Despite The Battle of the Five Armies being released in , the Tintin sequel still sat unproduced. What would it be about?
