In case further proof was needed that time is a construct, somehow it has been fifteen years \u2014 yes, FIFTEEN years \u2014 since Steven Spielberg and Peter Jackson’s The Adventures Of Tintin: The Secret Of The Unicorn<\/em> hit cinemas, bringing Herg\u00e9’s bequiffed reporter\/adventurer and his adorable dog Snowy to a whole new generation. But despite the movie being a critical and commercial smash, all these years later we find ourselves still pining for the Tintin 2<\/em> that never quite materialised. And here’s a plot-twist: Peter Jackson’s still down for it, too. In fact, he’s working on it right now.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

As Screen Daily<\/em> reports, Jackson \u2014 who’s currently at the Cannes Film Festival having just received an honorary Palme d’Or on the fest’s opening night \u2014 revealed during a career-spanning Rendezvous session this morning that not only is he still working on a Tintin<\/em> sequel, but he’s even been writing it while on the French Riviera. \u201cI\u2019ve been working with Fran [Walsh, Jackson\u2019s screenwriting partner] on another Tintin<\/em> script, I was writing it in the hotel room here,\u201d shared Jackson. \u201cIt\u2019s an active real thing, and I\u2019m getting back into the Tintin<\/em> world, and I actually love it.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

What’s more, all being well, the plan is for Jackson to helm the Tintin<\/em> sequel himself, honouring a pact he made with the first movie’s director, Steven Spielberg, when The Secret Of The Unicorn<\/em> came out. \u201cThe deal was that Steven directs one and I direct another,\u201d Jackson, producer of that first film, revealed during his talk. \u201cSteven did his film, then for 15 years I haven\u2019t made mine. I feel very awkward about that.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Right now, we don’t know anything further about the sequel than that Jackson is<\/em> working on it. It was at one point subtitled Prisoners Of The Sun<\/em>, referencing Herg\u00e9’s 14th Tintin adventure, which involved some magical crystal balls and a hidden Incan civilisation \u2014 but that title is over a decade old at this point and may well have changed. Still, should Jackson’s long, long<\/em> gestating Tintin<\/em> sequel plans come to fruition, Tintin 2<\/em> \u2014 or 2 Tin 2 Tin<\/em> as nobody is calling it \u2014 will mark the New Zealand filmmaker’s first foray into narrative feature filmmaking since 2015’s The Hobbit: The Battle Of The Five Armies<\/em>. Here’s hoping this film turns out a little better than one, eh? In Peter Jackson we trust.<\/p>\n
