Overview
- Jackson, speaking Wednesday at the Cannes Film Festival, said he is actively writing a Tintin sequel with Fran Walsh and plans to direct it.
- He called it a follow-up to Steven Spielberg’s 2011 animated film and hinted it opens where that story ends.
- The project is at the script stage with no greenlight, release date, or confirmed Hergé source material, despite reports speculating about The Seven Crystal Balls and Prisoners of the Sun.
- Jackson said he will send a draft to Spielberg for notes as they follow their original agreement to swap directing and producing duties.
- The push marks Jackson’s move back toward features after years in documentaries, and advances at his Weta FX could shape the film’s performance-capture and CGI approach.
