We noted a year ago that Steven Spielberg and Peter Jackson would be directing three films about the beloved rosy-cheeked adventurer, Tintin. The Hollywood Reporter noted this week that Herge Studios, which owns the rights to Tintin, said Jackson would direct the first film. However, representatives for the two directors say Spielberg will direct the first installment, Jackson the second. Hmm.

No matter which order they go, E! says the first flick will be derived from two HergÃ(c) books—The Secret of the Unicorn and Red Rackham’s Treasure—and they’ll be presented “with Polar Express-style motion-capture animation technology.”

Oh, my. Hope no critics describe these movies as creepy.
