I just got Empire today because it had a lovely big picture of Hellboy 2 on the cover (I'm a bit of a fan and I will fight to the death anyone who says it's rubbish) and there's a bit of an update about the trilogy of Tintin films that are in production.
It's all interesting stuff - one film is being done by Peter Jackson, one by Steven Spielberg, it's done in motion capture with Andy Serkis (possibly playing Captain Haddock - RAD), they're going to be films of the two parter stories.
All well and good, right? Pretty exciting?
Well:
THEY'RE BEING SCRIPTED BY
STEVEN MOFFAT!!!!!
BLISTERING BARNACLES THESE FILMS ARE GOING TO BE THE ACES OF AWESOME!!!!!!!
I AM EVEN WILLING TO SUGGEST THAT THEY WILL KICK THE ASS OF ANY OTHER FILMS EVER!!!
I'm done
