Steven Spielberg's Dreamworks To Make Tintin Movie.... Oscar-winning director Steven Spielberg's company Dreamworks is set to bring beloved animated series Tintin to the big screen.

The film giant has reportedly committed to making at least one film featuring the intrepid Belgian boy reporter, although it has not yet been decided which of the 24 comic books will be adapted for the project.

Nick Rodwell, head of Herge Studios which was set up by Tintin creator George Remis in 1950, confirms the company will go into pre-production on a film scheduled for release in 2009.

He says, "If movie number one works, we will continue."

Tintin first appeared in a Belgian children's newspaper in 1929. It went on to become a comic book series and an animated TV show.
