A sequel was announced, but then stalled and has remained in development hell ever since.<\/p>\n<p>Andy Serkis, who voiced Captain Haddock in the first film and is a long-time collaborator with Jackson, is currently out promoting the animated feature \u201cAnimal Farm\u201d which he directed.  Speaking with <a href=\"https:\/\/collider.com\/tintin-2-the-adventures-of-tintin-sequel-peter-jackson-steven-spielberg-andy-serkis-update\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Collider<\/a>, he reassures fans Jackson is as keen as ever to do another and the project isn\u2019t dead:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI love that Tintin film. I loved the process of making that film with such great filmmakers. I think Peter really, really wants to make it, so hopefully down the line.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jackson hasn\u2019t directed a narrative feature film since the last of the \u201cThe Hobbit\u201d films; the helmer has mostly done documentaries on WW1 &amp; The Beatles since.  He is producing new \u201cThe Lord of the Rings\u201d films though including \u201cThe Hunt For Gollum\u201d which Serkis will star in and direct.  That project begins shooting next month.<\/p>\n<p>Serkis confirms to the outlet that he will find time to go and film his role as Alfred Pennyworth in Matt Reeves\u2019 \u201cThe Batman: Part II\u201d.  He says scheduling issues are being worked out now: \u201cI\u2019m pretty certain it\u2019s all going to work out. Yeah, we\u2019re working on it, but I think it\u2019s all looking good.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He confirms filming on \u201cThe Batman Part II\u201d gets underway in June in the UK and while he won\u2019t be joining them initially due to his \u2018Gollum\u2019 commitments, \u201cby the end of the year, I will be\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Paramount Pictures It has been fifteen years since Steven Spielberg\u2019s animated feature \u201cThe Adventures of Tintin\u201d was released,&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":379008,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[63746,146,85,46,397],"class_list":{"0":"post-379007","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-movies","8":"tag-bigslider","9":"tag-entertainment","10":"tag-il","11":"tag-israel","12":"tag-movies"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/379007","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=379007"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/379007\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/379008"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=379007"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=379007"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=379007"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
