Recently, Peter Jackson gave BBC some updates on the status of Steven Spielberg's Tintin and he confirmed that the filming process is complete. The only major problem now is that it will take about two years for the computer animation to be completed. While the production team has set December 23, 2011 as the possible date of release, we certainly hope things will really go according to plan.
"Tintin is great. It’s made. The movie is cut together and now [we] are turning it into a fully-rendered film… So the movie, to some degree, exists in a very rough state," says Jackson.
On the other hand, Jackson also spilled more beans on The Hobbit. He mentioned that he was scouting locations in New Zealand before giving this interview to BBC in London. He also ensures that there will be continuity between his film's and Guillermo Del Toro's Hobbit.
"We’re writing the screenplays with him, so in terms of the script, there is continuity. We’re writing Ian McKellen’s dialogue just the same as we did in Lord Of The Rings. But Guillermo, being the director, will obviously take the script and interpret that and shoot his film. So that’ll be interesting to see. That’s actually the reason I wanted him to do it. I felt like I’d be trying to compete with myself and deliberately do things differently, which is not the way I want to work. I want it to be natural."
