Steven Spielberg Hopes ‘Tintin 2′ Will Be Released in 2015

While Steven Spielberg’s The Adventures of Tintin wasn’t a major box office success here in the states (it only made $77 million), the worldwide take ($373 million) was far more impressive, thanks to brand recognition overseas. And though the motion-capture film was not an incredibly faithful adaptation of Hergé’s beloved comic strip, it was considered by some to be the old school Spielberg action-adventure that Indiana Jones 4 should’ve been.

The Adventures of Tintin 2 is slated to be directed by Peter Jackson, who’s currently working on The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug (2013) and The Hobbit: There and Back Again (2014). The recent delay of the latter film left people wondering whether or not Jackson would be able to work on Tintin 2 later this year, as he’d previously planned. Now, according to Steven Spielberg, he (“hopefully“) will.
