A change from the usual violence and rediculous blood baths in modern movies, particularly kid's films, would be a refreshing change and Herge's stories brought to true life will I'm sure, be enormously welcomed............. PS..a very humungus thankyou to Mr. Spielberg for recognising the brilliance and potential in Tintin.

It's very obvious why Spielberg and Jackson want to do this. There's a strong, young, selfless hero (although some of the very early comics are very controversial and inspired by colonialist ideas), there are a couple of interesting sidekicks (some funny, some not so much) and most of all, the stories are very compelling adventures set around the globe with a clear right/wrong moral motif to them. So all in all, they should make for at least a few interesting movies. I just hope they don't put too many comics into a single movie (there are plenty 2-part stories that have enough content for a movie) I’m a big comics fan, and although I’m not that big a fan of Tintin, like many belgian children I grew up with Hergés comics.

You admit not knowing the stories so why not trust Spielberg and Jackson? I'm excited beyond belief that they're doing it. Why are you asking why?
