Cheap shot, Drew by Lazarus Long	Jun 7th, 2004 03:18:19 AM
But funny. I think this is up SS's alley, byut would love to see Polanski's take. We'll see how good he is with a younger cast after Oliver Twist comes out. I think we'll all be pleasantly surprised.
Jude Law as Tin Tin??? by TedSallis	Jun 7th, 2004 03:19:17 AM
What dya think? Barbara Streisand as Madame Castafiore!!!!!!
Orlando Bloom as Tintin. by Cash Bailey	Jun 7th, 2004 03:24:11 AM
Laugh if you want, but remmeber that in the books Tintin was always the most boring character. Surround him with great supporting charachters and you have yourself a worthy TINTIN movie. may I suggest starting with Billy Connolly as Captain Haddock? What about Jim Broadbent as the Thompson twins?
Hrm, Tintin - I read a lot of those as a kid, but IMO the animat by Ichirou	Jun 7th, 2004 03:26:06 AM
Bleh, Tintin. I have a bunch of Tintin albums and I'm not really a big fan. Yeah, Herge's art is beautiful, and the stories are clever adventures, but the lesser-known Spirou et Fantasio stories (about two friends, a bellboy and a journalist, with a lot of sci-fi/adventure elements) are, IMHO, far superior. I would personally prefer to see these in some sort of animated or live-action form. It'll never happen, though, which is a shame. The characters have a long history (I think Spirou first began publication way back in 1939 or so, in fact).

It was tintin and Asterix as the comics that got into the library.I always prefered Asterix.They never got Asterix right.I hope the Tintin fans get something decent.
Jim Broadbent... by alfiemoon	Jun 7th, 2004 06:31:59 AM
... is excellent casting for the Thompson twins. But they've got to adapt "Destination moon" and "explorers on the moon"! I can't think of any two Tintin albums more suited to a big-screen adaptation...
Is that a joke? by SalvatoreGravano	Jun 7th, 2004 07:03:11 AM
Two Oscar-caliber directors, each one from the Top 10 Directors of the XX Century list, making junk flicks based on some crappy unknown French comic book? Sheesh. Polanski, if you want a comic book movie, make Thorgal instead; it's a serious and somber comic book, close to your style... and you can talk the screenplay over with Rosinski in the same native language. :-D
tin tin rumours by megadog	Jun 7th, 2004 08:14:22 AM
What is the point of remaking an excellent animated/cartoon series as a live action movie? Even an Anime would at least pick up on the great graphics of Herge. This will be just another example of Hollywood killing a great idea and turning it into a Zombie, I can't see how they can do this without ruining any attraction Tintin had - another Thunderbirds anyone?
they've already made a live action Tintin movie........ by payton 34	Jun 7th, 2004 02:04:11 PM
It's called Tintin and the blue oranges. (translated because I would've of butchered the french spelling). It's not based on any of the albums (obviously) and came out sometime in the 80's (?). I have it on vhs and there are no english subtitles but it's pretty trippy to watch. They did a great job finding actors that looked like the characters. If you have a french bookstore in your area I bet you can find it. Just in case anyone is interested.
yeah, nice way to piss me off, Drew by Crowbot	Jun 8th, 2004 01:16:13 AM
how come EVERY SINGLE FUCKING TIME Roman Polanski's (the brilliant, extremely talented director) name comes up, somebody has to remark about that shit he did in the past? who gives a fuck what a dude does in his personal life? if he does his job well, I don't give a shit. I'm watching his movies, not his life. christ, and I was starting to like Moriarty lately.

Crowbot...he RAPED CHILDREN by MrCere	Jun 8th, 2004 02:32:25 AM
I think that as punishment he can be the subject of some jokes at AICN.com...Am I supposed to feel sorry for him? And...seriously, which film would you let YOUR kid be in? Spielberg's or his?
by Poshspice	Jun 8th, 2004 03:22:57 AM
There were two Tintin movies in the sixties. 'Tintin and The Blue Oranges' and 'Tintin and The Golden Fleece'. They used to show them on Brit TV when I was a kid. You can get them on DVD but without English subtitles. Guess I should have paid more attention to Miss Pritchard in French lessons at school!
crowbot....you're joking right? by payton 34	Jun 8th, 2004 05:05:30 AM
Polanski is a baby raper. If you don't have a problem with that then you are as fucked up as he is.
wow, way to miss the fucking point by Crowbot	Jun 8th, 2004 06:37:25 AM
this is the shit I'm talkin about. are you telling me that every single celebrity that you've ever liked has a totally clean slate? no, I'm not okay with what he did, but that's not my fucking business. shit happens everyday, all the time. All I'm saying is, the guy has talent and knows how to make good movies. that's all I really care about. shouldn't that be all you guys really care about? I mean, we're supposed to be movie fans here, right?
Jude Law IS Tintin by numberface	Jun 8th, 2004 11:04:04 AM
Perfect casting. This would be worth going to see.
crowbot, you are a fucking idiot by payton 34	Jun 8th, 2004 01:54:15 PM
So we should just ignore the fact that he got a child drunk, raped her and then fled the country to avoid prosecution. That's all right with you. Dude you need some serious fucking help.
"The Blue Lotus" & "Tintin In Tibet" in a single movie???!!! by DArt	Jun 8th, 2004 03:54:49 PM
The sourse is probably wrong about this coz I don't think these two can be included in the same film. It's true that both have got Tchang but the story is completely different. In "Lotus" Tintin (and Tchang) deal with Drug traffic while, in "Tibet" Tintin goes to the Himalayas(encountering the Yeti!) in search of his Chinese friend (who is merely seen in the story). I think it would be quite strange to change plot in the middle of the film, unless they change the story completely. Besides, "Lotus" is itself the second part of a story, the first part being (something like) "The Pharaoh's Cigars." That's "Les Cigares du Pharaon" in French (I've never read Tintin in English, sorry). In this one, the whole Drug Traffic thing starts. It makes more sense if they're making "Pharaoh" & "Lotus" rather than "Lotus" & "Tibet."
OFFICIAL NEWS: TOM HANKS will be Capitaine Haddock! by UneBonnePoutine	Jun 8th, 2004 07:44:40 PM
Spielberg asked him coz he never been in a triple franchise. First movie should be out in 2006.
Also, TINTIN will not be played by somebody famous by UneBonnePoutine	Jun 8th, 2004 07:46:36 PM
I read that info straight from the head honcho from the late Herg
yes, we should just ignore that fact. by Crowbot	Jun 8th, 2004 11:34:03 PM
like I said, it's not alright with me, but I'm not gonna sit here and dwell on something that happened over 30 years ago, especially if itsn't none of my fucking business. if you wanna let something that some guy did in the past interefer with you watching a good movie, be my guest, you fucking loser.
Shaun for TinTin by The New No.2	Jun 9th, 2004 06:14:34 AM
Since the days of 'Spaced' I've always fancied Simon Pegg for the coveted role of the ace cub reporter. They'd save money on hairpieces too!!!
