French magazine Capital reports that Steven Spielberg will not only produce, but may possibly direct three adaptations of the famous comic Tintin. The “deal is nearly signed,” with shooting to begin next winter for a 2006 release. Dark Horizons adds, “The three movies to be made apparently will be based on two of the two-part comics (the space one is considered too ‘old fashioned’) and one using two comics with the same characters. Thus it’ll be the sunken treasure adventure ‘The Secret of the Unicorn’ and ‘Red Rackham’s Treasure’, the China/Tibet drug trade and Yeti antics of ‘The Blue Lotus’ and ‘Tintin in Tibet’, and my personal fave – the Incan mystery ‘The Seven Crystal Balls’ and ‘Prisoners of the Sun’.”
