Belgian artist Hergé's (Georges Prosper Remi) popular work is to be turned into a trilogy of films. The first of which is to be filmed by none other than Steven Spielberg, with Peter Jackson filming the second. The third does not yet have a director attached to the project.
The 'Tintin' adventures, charting the experiences of a young reporter along with his dog and a cast of friends, the series originally started out as a comic strip in a Belgian newspaper, and has been collected into over 20 volumes.
