Tintin???

So Variety has reported this morning that Steven Spielberg and Peter Jackson are teaming up to make a computer generated trilogy of Tintin movies with each helming one of them. Reports are that Weta Digital have made a 20 minute test reel showing what it will look like.

Eh??

This is such a random pitch! I know Spielberg has been thinking of a Tintin movie for years but roping Peter Jackson in for what will be for both of them their first fully CG projects, and Tintin is such a niche characfter that I really can't imagine it appealing to an audience outside of little kids. Sorry just had to get that out, such bizarre news. Kudos to chud.com for their headline for the story, nearly spat some coffee out at reading it.

The podcast is up as I am sure you will know, I have had four downloads of it in less than 24 hours which I must say I am really pleased with. As of the next one, I am going to put a running order with times for each section so you can skip if you want, I will also be posting shownotes here too. Please give it a listen if you can. I will be posting my review of Stranger Than Ficiton up here tomorrow as the next podcast will be about an hour long as it is and that it is the top end of what I am aiming for with time.

Ian out.
