Legendary directors Steven Spielberg and Peter Jackson are teaming up to make a trilogy of animated films based on Tintin, the beloved Belgian comic strip hero.
They announced the deal yesterday with Spielberg promising the films would be shot in 3D, using motion capture technology to translate the movements of real actors into animated characters.
So the world's most famous Belgian cartoon character (not excepting Georges Simenon) is coming to life.
I think.
“[We are] faithfully replicating Herge’s original designs, but not rendering them as cartoons, or the familiar looking computer animated characters – instead we’re making them look photo-realistic, the fibres of their clothing, the pores of their skin and each individual hair,” said Jackson.
“They look exactly like real people – but real Herge people!”
OK, I have to admit. I have no idea what they're talking about.
