Earlier I indicated that I was ever so slightly excited about the possibility of an upcoming Tintin movie adaption, well sadly it now looks like it may not happen; both Universal and Paramount have passed on the picture which leaves its future on very shaky ground.
Apparently it is a budgeting issue, the studios saw what would amount to a $130 million price tag and didnt think the movie would be able to recoup the budget and are seriously considering passing.
On the one side I’m glad that the major studios are being a bit more picky considering all the big budget flops we’ve seen in the past couple years, but on the other hand I dont want to see Tintin bleed out on the cutting room floor.
