I know I'm not the only Tintin fan on these fourms, so I some of you might be intersested in this news. Read more about it in an article taken from theradier.net:

Good news for all Tintin fans. Variety reported that Kathleen Kennedy and Steven Spielberg will produce the internationally acclaimed comic strip Tintin as a live-action film for Universal Pictures and DreamWorks Pictures.
Universal and DreamWorks are currently negotiating the feature rights with Nick Rodwell of Moulinsart, the company that holds the properties created by late cartoonist Georges Remi under the pseudonym Hergé.

Tintin is the story of an intrepid young reporter with a cowlicked coif who, with his dog Snowy, inevitably finds himself at the center of global adventures. Tintin's friends and allies include his mentor, Captain Haddock, police officers Thomson and Thompson and Professor Cuthbert Calculus.
The comic strip was first published in 1929 in Belgian newspaper Le Petit Vingtieme and was eventually translated into more than 50 languages. It has already been the subject of several animated adaptations for motion pictures and television.

So, am I the only one excited about this?
