As of Jan 2007, Dreamworks greenlit the movie version of Tintin. Steven Spielberg, a lifelong fan of The Adventures of Tintin, has obtained the rights to produce the next movie, but has twice had to drop his plans.[34] Spielberg's love of the character is thought to have influenced the atmosphere and lead characterization in his Indiana Jones trilogy—both characters having strong moral codes and childhood adventures with the Boy Scouts. Spielberg has commented on the influence, noting he has "always loved Tintin", and that "some of Indiana Jones was inspired by the books".[35]
Directors Steven Spielberg and Peter Jackson are to bring Tintin to the big screen, according to industry reports, whilst Jackson's special effects team Weta Digital will use 3-D animation to bring characters to life in the films [36]. The producers said that they planned to use animation techniques to present the familiar Hergé images of the Tintin characters, but in realistic, detailed surfaces, and with the ability to effectively represent human expressions and emotions.
