Directors Steven Spielberg and Peter Jackson have been struggling for a while to find fund for one of their project which is bringing the classical Tintin character to the big screen.

Tintin is said to be produced in two separate movies and it seems that the companies that agreed of funding the project might be Sony Pictures Entertainment and Paramount Pictures. Universal Pictures has declined Spielberg’s request of funding the first half of the Tintin movie project which is supposedly priced at $130 million dollars.

Paramount was the first company to consider that the project is worth it and offered funding, but the two directors are still
thinking about who would be best at distributing the movie. Steven Spielberg is the one to direct the first Tintin movie, while Jackson is said to be the director of the second film in the series.

Tintin is a character created by Belgian artist Herge and is a comic book figure that has already became a classic in the genre. The comic book first made its apparition in the Belgian newspaper Le Vingtième Siècle in the 1929.

The hero of the comic book is a Belgian reporter by the name of Tintin, who is helped by his trusty dog Snowy. The Tintin series is one of the most successful comic book series in Europe, as the popular character has fascinated generations of children and adults alike.

Making Tintin into a movie for the big screen requires great talent and the two directors have proven their worth before.
