Okay, associates, it’s time to ruffle some feathers as soon as once more, significantly these belonging to the Lord of the Rings fandom. Now I’ve to preface what I’m about to say with the information that I’m certainly a fan of Peter Jackson’s landmark trilogy adapting J.R.R. Tolkien’s masterwork. The 2024 movie The Lord of the Rings: The Struggle of the Rohirrim is certainly on my watchlist for movies due out this yr, and it appears beautiful.
Nonetheless, somebody has talked about that he’s “nonetheless working” on a long-awaited sequel I have to see occur. And no, I don’t care that it’s taken over a decade for this information to make it to the followers.
The Adventures Of Tintin 2 Is Apparently Nonetheless In Play
Apparently due to a random fan encounter between Andy Serkis and an attendee on the Annecy Movie Competition, Jackson’s long-awaited follow-up to Steven Spielberg’s The Adventures of Tintin isn’t as lifeless as we thought. The truth is, due to this intrepid fan, now we have this replace to report from social media:
Pour ce que ça vaut :« Peter Jackson is certainly engaged on it » quand je lui ai demandé si on allait voir une suite à Tintin @annecyfestival pic.twitter.com/nCKIEci83TJune 11, 2024
“So how overdue is that this specific sequel,” you could be asking. “Are we speaking a Tron: Legacy scenario right here, or one thing a lot shorter?” Effectively, as you’ll be able to see by this CinemaBlend write-up about Tintin’s international box office clout, that first film was launched in 2011. So we’re 13 years out from the primary installment’s launch, and all we’ve acquired to point out for it’s…The Hobbit trilogy, the upcoming Struggle of the Rohirrim and, in fact, that fan film spoiler The Hunt for Gollum.
I’m sorry to say it, however the path between The Adventures of Tintin and its continuation is just made extra painful by the truth that the difference of Hergé’s iconic boy detective was at all times meant to be the beginning of one thing larger.
Peter Jackson’s Sequel Has All the time Been Half Of The Tintin Recreation Plan
Very like Alita: Battle Angel, one other would-be franchise starter I maintain close to and expensive to my coronary heart, The Adventures of Tintin was meant to kick off a trilogy. As just lately as 2018, Steven Spielberg’s Tintin 2 remarks strengthened the truth that the following entry was earmarked for Peter Jackson to deal with. The mastermind behind The Lord of the Rings knew full effectively that this was in his court docket as effectively, with loads of bulletins from himself, Mr. Spielberg and Tintin star Jamie Bell dropping all kinds of enjoyable tidbits that kicked the can down the street.
Look, I get that there’s been some superior ardour initiatives Jackson has grabbed a maintain of on this time span. We did get the wonderful documentary They Shall Not Develop Outdated, in addition to a Beatles documentary that ballooned from a single movie into a complete Disney+ miniseries. On the similar time, contemplating how thrilled followers have been about The Hobbit trilogy, the truth that Peter Jackson continues to be forging entries within the Lord of the Rings collection appears comparatively annoying.
That being stated, if Andy Serkis is holding out hope to return as comedic drunk Captain Haddock, and if Jamie Bell continues to be up for a sequel to The Adventures of Tintin, I’ll actually present as much as see it on opening day. Which is seemingly set, at this present second, for the fifth of By no means, particularly with Serkis contributing to the hypothetical downside because the director for The Hunt for Gollum.
Oh effectively, a minimum of a Paramount+ subscription will remind you of how superior Steven Spielberg’s first installment was. The truth is, I’d even say it’s the true fourth Indiana Jones film, so use this chance to see the film, and both debate me or be a part of my quest to ensure Tintin 2 takes off!
