Steven Spielberg has talked about his plans to make three movies based on the Tintin books.
Speaking at the press conference in Cannes for Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, Spielberg said he had never heard of the books until 1981 when a film critic compared the books to Raiders of the Lost Ark.
He said of the books the movies will be based on: "I can't announce today what those books are."
Speaking about the way the films will look, Spielberg said: "They will be animated with actors, like Ray Winstone who played Beowulf...
"That's how we'll be making Tintin."
Spielberg said it was easier nowadays to become known as a film maker than when he first started out.
He said that everyone now had a camcorder and a video camera and sites like YouTube showed films on the global stage.
"If you have something to say... there are outlets for that expression."
He said that "major discoveries" had been made by watching such student films.
