Double Steven Spielberg!
Director is working on two forthcoming movies, ready to come out only in December 2011, and maybe to be presented at Cannes Film Festival 2011, or Venice FF 2011: “War Horse” and “The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn”, with production by Peter Jackson.

The one about Tintin will be the first 3D motion capture film based on the iconic character created by Belgian artist Georges Rémi, aka Herge.

The film will depict Tintin’s (Jamie Bell) first encounter with Captain Haddock (Andy Serkis) and the discovery of a clue to the treasure of his ancestor Sir Francis Haddock. They set out to find it with protection from a prison escapee who tried to get the treasure as well as Detectives Thomson (Nick Frost) and Thompson (Simon Pegg).
The screenplay was penned by Edgar Wright (Scott Pilgrim vs. the World), Joe Cornish (Ant-Man) and Steven Moffat (Doctor Who) and co-stars Daniel Craig as Red Rackham, Toby Jones as Silk, Mackenzie Crook as Ernie, Tony Curran as Lt. Delcourt, Cary Elwes as Pilot and Gad Elmaleh as Ben Salaad.

Spielberg said: “The first part of the film, which is the most mysterious part, certainly owes much to not only film noir but the whole German Brechtian theatre — some of our night scenes and our action scenes are very contrasty. But at the same time the movie is a hell of an adventure.”

Cant’ wait?
