Of course this has been sort of rumored as Amblin was one of the studios interested in a Doctor Who project in the 90s (The same project that we got Spider Daleks from).

Yep, you already provided the lil' tidbits I was going to share.

Both he and Peter Jackson are fans of the show which is why they were so willing to let Moffat out of his Tintin contract to run the show.

Spielberg, Jackson, Moffat.. that's almost a movie making dream team.

Then be sure to check out The Adventures of Tintin in December.

I've grown up with TinTin so I definitely intend to watch it

 

[Captaindemotion]

^ December? It's out here already. Is the US getting it later than Europe then?

 

[Admiral_Young]

^ Yep. As mentioned above it is coming out in North America in Dec.

the reverse of Puss in Boots then, it's already out stateside, but isn't out here until December.

 

[The Nth Doctor]

The "early" release in Europe makes sense because Tintin was always far more popular over there than in the States. I was just fortunate enough to grow up on it thanks to my elementary school and local library.

Its the same for me, I was a volunteer student librarian for my school when I stumbled upon Tintin one day while rearranging the shelves and fell in love with the books.

I just watched the movie today and its not only as gorgeous and as funny as the comic, the story is as energetic as any Doctor Who story. Tintin and Haddock easily bounces from scene to scene in a seamless manner. And I can't help but think that "Geronimo!" in one of the action sequences is a shout out to Doctor Who.
