Filmnyt: Spielberg og Jackson laver Tintin-trilogi

Tintin

Ja, du læste rigtigt! Stephen Spielberg er gået sammen med Peter Jackson om at lave en Tintin-trilogi. De to herrer vil instruere en film hver – hvem der så skal instruere den tredie vil tiden så vise.

De tager en lidt usædvanlig teknik i brug:

Pics will be produced in full digital 3-D using performance capture technology […]

Jackson’s New Zealand-based WETA Digital, the f/x house behind “The Lord of the Rings” franchise, produced a 20-minute test reel bringing to life the characters created by Remi, who wrote under the pen name of Herge.

“Herge’s characters have been reborn as living beings, expressing emotion and a soul which goes far beyond anything we’ve seen to date with computer animated characters,” Spielberg said.

“We want Tintin’s adventures to have the reality of a live-action film, and yet Peter and I felt that shooting them in a traditional live-action format would simply not honor the distinctive look of the characters and world that Herge created,” Spielberg continued.

Det lyder da spændende, og de to herrer skal nok få lokket mig i biffen.

Tintin-film på vej?

TintinThe Beat rapporterer at der er mulighed for en Tintin-film, produceret af ingen ringere end Stephen Spielberg:

DreamWorks will film the adventures of the iconic Belgian comic-strip hero Tintin, it was announced Thursday in Brussels by Herge Studios, which holds the rights to the fictional journalist and adventurer.
Steven Spielberg will produce the film with partner Kathleen Kennedy, which is in development at his Amblin Entertainment for DreamWorks, but he is not expected to direct.

Det lader til at Spielberg har været interesseret i rettighederne i 25 år, så det bliver spændende at se hvad de så får ud af serien. Der er lige nu en masse spekulation om, hvorvidt det bliver tegnet, CGI eller Live Action, og det har jeg egentligt ikke nogen holdning til. Mit udgangspunkt er nok at jeg ikke er sikker på om det kan gøres i CGI på en ordentlig måde og at jeg gerne ville have en Indiana Jones-type live acton film om vores allesammens spejderdreng. :tintin:
