I think Tin Tin is one of those properties that is famous world wide but for some reason never hit it off in the states. There is mad potential for this series if it's done right. That brings a question into my brain... Is it a bad thing for an American director (such as Speilberg) to make a movie that is not necessarily for American audiences?

For those of you who haven't read the comics, he's a young journalist who gets involved in all sorts of international jet-setting adventures that often deal with smugglers, kidnappers, drug runners, counterfeiters, espionage, treasure, and political revolutions, etc. with a lot of very colorful characters and clever dialogue (lots of Indiana Jones-type humor). The plots usually have a lot of twists and big big action sequences, plus some serious peril for our hero. Yeah, he has a dog and the dog does his thing and hangs out and occasionally helps TinTin out by attacking someone who is pointing a gun on our hero, but it's not like they are a dynamic duo and the dog is always involved in the action. Peter, as to the two director dilemma... Of course, I remember the Sin City fiasco and noted the recent change of billing with the Coen Brothers, but recently thought about the Farrelly Brothers who didn't have to deal with the "established duo" business and have shared co-director billing since their first movie (Dumb & Dumber). Do you know what's up with that? I'm beginning to think that these rumored Guild rules don't actually exist. Tin Tin is absolutely incredible source for this.

How are there already three movies lined up, but they're already pulling the plug on Narnia [for example]. At least Narnia is heard of and well known. I've heard of Tin Tin in passing, but couldn't tell you a thing about it. And based on the image above and your descriptions of it's so-called "awesomeness" i'm not seeing it. From what it sounds like, we've already got something like all this.. it's called Lassie. Someone please tell me what is going on. What is Tin Tin. I’m confused.
