Peter Jackson & Steven Spielberg's Upcoming Movie Sequel
Gets Exciting Update
--------------------------------------------------------
Peter Jackson has shared massive news for fans of a popular comic
book character who hasn't appeared on the big screen in over a
decade. According to a promising update from The Lord of the Rings
director, it may finally be time for the character's comeback with
a new adventure.
Peter Jackson is writing a new Tintin movie
Speaking at the Rendezvous session at the Cannes Film Festival,
Peter Jackson revealed that he's actually working on a new Tintin
movie, according to Deadline. The director said, "I've been
working with Fran (Walsh) on a newaTintinascript."
Jackson mentioned that before The Adventures of Tintin came out in
2011, he had a deal with Steven Spielberg. "The deal was Steven
directs one, and I direct another," he said. Back then, Jackson
co-produced that movie. "Steven did his film, then for 15 years
I haven't made mine. I feel very awkward about that."
The director assured that the new Tintin movie is "an active real
thing, and I'm getting back into the Tintin world, and I actually
love it."
Meanwhile, he also spoke about The Lord of the Rings franchise,
which will see a new movie soon. Unlike the past three films, he
won't direct the next one, titled The Lord of the Rings: Hunt for
Gollum. Instead, Andy Serkis will step into the director's chair
while also reprising his iconic role of Gollum from the previous
trilogy.
When asked why he's not directing the new installment, Jackson
answered, "I could have directed it, but I thought, I've done
that."
Teasing crucial details for LOTR: Hunt for Gollum's story, the
three-time Oscar winner added, "It's an internal story about
Gollum's psychology and addiction. It's a personal story to
Gollum. Andy knows this guy better than anybody. I didn't think
about me. The more exiting version of this movie is if Any Serkis
made it."
The Lord of the Rings: Hunt for Gollum is set to release next year.
