Collider has posted an interview with director Steven Spielberg where he touched on numerous topics. Most interesting of the topics was that he confirmed that the sequel To The Adventure of Tintin The Secret of The Unicorn will be two of Herge's stories instead of one. He also reitterated what Peter Jackson said by saying that Jackson will start working on it this year after he finished the hobbit.



“I’m not going to say which stories have been chosen for Peter Jackson’s sequel because Peter and I agreed that we weren’t going to let that information out yet. The script is now being written. It’s more than one book, but it’s not three books, so that means it’s two books. It’s two and a half books that we’re combining with The Secret of the Unicorn. And Peter will start working on the film this year. When he’s done shooting The Hobbit, he’ll begin his performance capture work with the actors later in 2012, which I’m very excited about. And of course, I’m hoping I’ll be able to direct the third one. I’d love to do the third one because I had so much fun on the first one.”


He was also asked about the status of the long awaited Jurassic Park 4. Spielberg took the silent approach about the film not saying anything about the script or when we might see it. But he did offer up some big news by revealing that he will not be directing the film.



“I don’t want to talk about Jurassic Park 4 yet – it’s too early – but I can tell you that I’m not directing it. I’m producing it though.”


The Adventures of Tintin has already grossed over $332,000,000 and looks to take more so a sequel was inevitable, but do you think two stories for one movie will work? On the same token do you think Jurassic Park 4 will work with out Spielberg behind the camera? Sound your thoughts off in the comment boxes below.

NOOOOOOOOOO!
Wtf Spielberg? I've been waiting for years to hear that you'd be back at the Jurassic director's chair:/
[frick] this, not watching it if Johnston's doing it. He may have made a good Cap, but JP3 was a pile of shit

I need to make some time to go catch TINTIN and oh lawdy, I will ALWAYS have me some time for Jurassic Park. I wish it would happen already. I'm digging the game for Xbox 360 so far. I'm about to start Chapter 4.

I caught Tintin over the weekend and I thought it really good, so I'm definitely looking forward to a sequel to that. But since Spielberg isn't gonna direct the next Jurassic Park movie, I'm not sure if I care to see a sequel to that now.

If they ever did a Jurassic Park movie-marathon... I'm pretty sure I'd end up with a saurus.

"do you think two stories for one movie will work?"

If you look at Spielberg's comments again, he says "two books", not "two stories". Several Tintin stories span two volumes, including the one they adapted for the current film... as he also points out in the interview. So I don't think we need be worried about them trying to combine disparate elements; they're almost certainly just turning another two-part adventure into a single film.

No more Raptors, Spinosaurus, or T-Rex. Aquatic dinos or flying dinos are what I would do.

The Jurassic Park: Chaos Theory toy line dealt with spliced dinosaurs! Remember those from around 1997!?

TINTIN was awesome. Wasn't expecting to much and now I'm looking forward to a sequel. Cant wait to get the DVD.

It’s more than one book, but it’s not three books, so that means it’s two books."

You dont say?! :D Why dont you say "2 books" right from the start Mr. Spielberg? :P

Looking forward to Tintin 2, loved the first one, saw it twice. Those comics were my childhood!

Loved the first Jurassic. Only liked the second and third one. Maybe he's getting gun-shy after the return of Indiana Jones debacle. I was more worried about a broken hip happening that the evil men chasing him.

I finally saw Tintin the other night and thoroughly enjoyed it. That movie has a fun spirit to it that is hard to find in movies anymore. It really reminds me of Indiana Jones in several good ways. I'm all for a sequel.

Why dont you shut the [frick] up instead of acting like a damn troll, Griffy.
The velociraptor thing was a joke, i cant picture an actor trying to give humanoid qualities to a dinosaur.

And I dont whack off to Stan Lee, bc according to some ppl on this site, im a DC nolanite.
Now gtfo and have a good day..

James Cameron wouldnt be a bad choice. He's great with the SciFi. Yeah I know he rips off a lot of peeps, but his movies are still entertaining

Tintin was a great movie. I would easily go see a sequel in theatres but Jurassic Park - they finish the storyline off with what happens with the shaving cream can full of dino DNA or REBOOT it

well regarding him not directing JP 4 isn't a surprise. but, as for him having so much fun on helming Tintin..if only it translates to the screen, then the audience would most definitely have as much fun as he does.javascript:__doPostBack('ctl00$ContentPlaceHolder1$m_comments$m_saveCommentBTN','')
