Peter Jackson says Tintin is finished. Kind of.

tintin Peter Jackson has been completing lots of things lately. Last week we heard the script for the first Hobbit film was finished, and now Jackson has told the BBC that The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn is finished. In it’s raw form anyway.

Steven Spielberg’s Tintin film is in the can, but it will take two years for the computer animation to be completed, producer Peter Jackson has said.

The Lord Of The Rings director told the BBC: “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.”

Two years is a heck of a long time. But then again they are using the same technology that James Cameron used for Avatar, so it was expected.

Tintin will be released in December 2011, and stars Jamie Bell, Daniel Craig, Andy Serkis, Simon Pegg and Nick Frost.

    It's tough to budge, especially since there are so many huge movies with a finite number of good release dates – It'd be interesting if Harvey came out before this, as it doesn't sound like Spielberg is going to be super hands on from here on out.

    I love listening to Weta's podcast, those guys are just so excited that they have Jackson, Cameron, Spielberg, del Toro and others constantly working there or calling in to their suburban workshop

    Now same here, listening to Weta's podcasts is cools. Can you imagine being there with Spielberg, Cameron and the others? I'm so envious!

    Tintin holding a gun… Right! If that image is in any way a concept from the Spielberg movie, then this ignominy is all anyone needs to see to understand how little that Hollywood monkey has any business digesting Franco-Belgian culture and puking it back to us — it’s a disgrace.
