Black Island in Tintin triology?



Insiders believe that The Black Island could be one of the Tintin films, reports the Scottish Daily Record.

Scot Steven Moffat - who will take over as showrunner on Doctor Who next year - will write the film scripts, so he may want to use The Black Island.

Spielberg said no storyline decisions had been made.

Eric Stoltz cast for Tintin movies?



The Internet and Movie Database have listed Eric Stoltz as a cast member for the 2009 Tintin movie. Surprisingly he is listed as playing Dr Krollspell, which would mean that the first Tintin film will be Flight 714.

Flight 714 is one of the later Tintin adventures, set in the 1960's. It was predicted that the producers would use one of the earlier adventures - such as Secret of The Unicorn or The Crab with The Golden Claws - and presumably set them just after World War II. So, it will be interesting to see how Flight 714 is used.

Flight 714 is often cited as an influence on the television series Lost.
