Tintin Script Finished, Steven Moffat Moves On.

Tintin script-writer Steven Moffat has finished the script and is ready to move on to his next job, writing Dr Who. Moffat is a fantastic writer, his comedy Coupling is one of my all time favourites and about the only sitcom I have ever watched. He has also written some of the best Dr Who episodes ever, including the truly scary Blink, and is to become chief writer for the 2010 series of Dr Who.

Its not clear if Steven Moffat has written just one or all three scripts. The article (see below) says its just the first film but the article also says that Thomas Sangster will definitely star so it might be lazy journalism. If the films are being filmed back-to-back-to-back then I would expect them to have scripts already for the second and third films, or at least rough drafts.

Personally I really hope that Steven Moffat has done all three films. I’m concerned about how sensitively the directors (particularly Spielberg ) will handle the source material. But if Moffat has written all three Tintin movies, then I can be sure at least that the scripts will be in tune with Herge’s orginals.
