In the May 28th issue of The New Yorker has a great article on one of my favourite childhood characters, Tintin. Anthony Lane discusses Tintin's creator Hergé (Georges Remi) and how he went about creating the intrepid Belgian reporter as well as his cohorts Captain Haddock, Professor Calculus and, of course, Thomson and Thompson. He also discusses various literary interpretations of the Tinitin. If you're a fan of Tintin I'm sure you'll find this article interesting.
More interesting is the prospect of a Tintin movie. Steven Spielberg and Peter Jackson have signed a three-picture deal to bring Tintin to the big screen. After reading the article, I'm tempted to think that a film about Hergé himself wouldn't be too bad either.
I can't wait. Who should play Tintin?
