2. I was reading about this in the Guardian. I really really hope it happens, but was also shocked to find that Tintin isn't that popular in America. I always thought it was a worldwide phenomenon, but you've never read one Christopher - I recommend you start with The Seven Crystal Balls & its sequel Prisoners of the Sun - one of my favourite books ever written.

3. I grew up loving Tintin in the US but I was only one of the very few, evidently. I was thrilled to find a Tintin gift shop in London back in the early 90s, and quite happy when one opened up in San Francisco. I think Tintin has slowly been gaining in popularity in the States over the past 15 years, and this movie might finally be the tipping point.

4. I'm a massive Tintin fan, having been one since I discovered the books when I was 8.

Spielberg has said that the Indiana Jones series was based on some of the Tintin adventures (Prisoners of the Sun being a prime example).

It has been his pet project for a long time.

Don't know how to take this news. I'm worried how much of the Spielberg effect will play into his interpetation of Herge's work.

I'm afraid that since Tintin is unknown in the US, certain liberties will be taken in order to introduce him to US audiences. A prime example is/are the Asterix films, also based on a famous comic - no one in the States has heard of Asterix, so those films have never been released over here.

5. Got some news off the net of a possible actor for the Tintin film. His name is Kirsten Myburgh, and he looks like the part. I found website with pics at http://www.kmyburgh.com

6. Is it just me, or is anyone else seriously worried that these directors will ruin it?

7. I agree with the rest of those who made the comments about being worried about U.S. producers and writers taking liberties on how to interpret Tintin's character.Showbusiness people in the U.S.can do a good job when they want to,but can they succeed in capturing and fully understanding Tintin.I love the original actor of the 1960's and the people involved in making the Tintin movies really nailed it down.Spielberg as director,not always a good choice.

9. What was the original movie of the 1960's. I have only seen the cartoons. I have probably read each of the Tintin comics well over 100 times and each time found something new that i hadn't noticed before. Herge has done has excellent job in this aspect. Hope Big Spielberg does it justice. Im available if you need me Spiel....Ekdo3

10. I am very worried about what TinTin would appear in the movies being contemplated. Spielsberg is not one of my many favorite director. Jackson may be better. I really hope that the people who inherited Tintin from Herge's estate would have the wisdom, the power and the will to protect Herge's original creation. I think it should be in French with subtitle, and no deviation from the original stories should be allowed. If I can only do three films, I would pick Le Lotus Bleu, Tintin au Tibet and a long Le Secret de la Licorne-Le Tresor de Rackham Le Rouge.
