Tintin movies will now be made. Woohoo! I remember watching an old Tintin movie as a child on television (Tintin and the Blue Oranges), but have never been able to find it on tape or DVD.

Blistering barnacles! Peter Jackson has teamed up with Hollywood heavyweight Steven Spielberg to make three Tintin movies, with cutting-edge visual effects to be created by Wellington's Weta Digital.
Jackson and Spielberg are likely to each direct at least one of the big-budget films, based on three of the 23 Tintin comic books.
The announcement comes seven months after The Dominion Post reported Jackson's wish to bring plucky Belgian reporter Tintin, his trusty dog Snowy and pals, including Captain Haddock, to the big screen.
Spielberg holds the film rights for the books by Georges Remi, better known as Herge, and has cited them as an inspiration for his Indiana Jones movies. The films will be made back-to-back.
