Adventures of Tintin (movie)

[Twin-Skies]

New adventures of Tintin movie in the works...(sourced to wikipedia):

has owned the rights to produce a trilogy of feature-length live-action Tintin films for many years. The project has been dormant since the 1980s, but Spielberg has confirmed in recent years that the project is indeed moving forward. A first script draft has been approved by Hergé's estate. He will produce it as a joint venture between DreamWorks and Universal Studios. Portions of a previous script Spielberg commissioned and rejected for his Tintin project were incorporated into the film Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. In early 2005, Spielberg revealed in an interview that he had talked to Peter Jackson about his company Weta doing the visual effects for the film.

In 2007 it was announced that a trilogy will be produced, with Jackson directing the first and Spielberg directing the second. Both film makers would serve as producers for all three. The movies will also be done using a large amount of CGI, with the end result intended to mimic Hergé's original drawings. Work is expected to begin when Jackson finishes production on The Lovely Bones and Spielberg on Indiana Jones IV.[1] Reportedly DreamWorks is aiming for a 2009 release. [2]

Why do I get the feeling this will turn out as some sort of spiritual successor to Indiana Jones?
