I grew up reading Tintin and still love re-reading the stories now. I'd also love to see how WETA developed the CGI characters; 'real' actors wouldn't do Tintin and co. justice and a 2D series has already been made ten years ago. So if the technology's there, why not try it out? In fact, the only worry i had was who was to write and adapt the stories. I thought, that in an ideal world they need to be written by someone who can reinvent the stories and characters to make them fresh and exciting for new audiences, while remaining true to the essence of whats been before to keep the die hards happy. And i thought about the writers of the new critically acclaimed Doctor Who series (which the geek that i am, also love), who as children, were fans themselves. So how pleased was i when i read this article?! Also, Moffatt wrote 'Press Gang'; a brilliant series for CITV in the UK in the late 80s/early 90s about a gang of meddling young reporters. So maybe its fitting that he should write for the most famous one of all. And his new story 'Blink' in series 3 of Doctor Who is fantasically scary. Crumbs! 2009 can't come fast enough.

I just hope they've really decided tat this is the best medium for it.

LIVE ACTION TINTIN OR BUST! I’m just saying that Tintin is DYING!!!!! to be a live action film it’s such a disappointment that it will be CGI.
