Tintin the enigma

Ok, so i only ever watched the cartoon of Tintin, and it was never my favourite cartoon- i would always prefer to be watching Power Rangers, TMNT or the legend that is Biker Mice From Mars. My dad on the other hand, was/is a pretty big Tintin fan, so when i told him they were making a film on Tintin he seemed pretty excited

I just saw an article on it on Empire's site, and i'm pretty sure when they decided to make it they said "ok, let's get all of Amy George's favourite people, and shove them all together to make a film about a subject she knows nothing about"

-It's being directed by Stephen Speilberg (Always a good thing. don't mention AI)
-The screenplay is being written by Steven Moffat (new head writer for Doctor Who, and creator of some of the most amazing, and let's face it much better than Russel T Davies', episodes in the show), Joe Cornish (a man so genius i shouldn't even have to explain who he is and why he's genius) and Edgar Wright ( if you don't know why his involvement is important to me then i don't even know why you're reading this blog)
-It stars Simon Pegg and Nick Frost (ditto the reasonage for Edgar Wright)
-It also stars Daniel Craig (He is possibly the silveriest of all the silver foxes out there)
-It's being produced by, among others, Peter Jackson (the man is a genius. no question)

of course, you won't see the actors. well, not really. you'll hear them cos it's all CGI-ed to the nines.

But am i excited? Yep. i just wish i knew more about it...i don't like not knowing stuff about films...it makes me uneasy...

i did have another idea for a really cool and funny blog, but then i read that article and my face fell off in excitement, meaning i kinda forgot what i was gonna write... ah well, it'll come to me later :)

xXx
