Anthony Horowitz confirmed for TINTIN sequel

Anthony Horowitz has confirmed that he is writing Tintin. Horowitz revealed the news on Richard Bacon’s Radio 5 talk show while there to promote the last Alex Rider novel, Scorpia Rising. Thanks to our friends at BleedingCool we have an excerpt of his conversation:

I’m working in Hollywood at the moment, I’m writing a feature film even as we speak. I’ve been hired to write Tintin

The Secret of the Unicorn is being directed by Steven Spielberg and was written originally by Steven Moffat, of course the writer of Doctor Who in this country. He did a couple of drafts then it was taken over by Edgar Wright… they’ve got [that] coming out at Christmas and if that film is a success and works and gets an audience I’m writing the sequel to it, Prisoners of the Sun, which Peter Jackson is going to direct.

Joe Cornish is also a named screenwriter with Edgar Wright… That’s only three [writers]. Three is not too bad… at the moment on the second one it’s just one but you can bet your bottom dollar that by the time the film hits the screen, if it ever happens next year, that I’ll be joined by one or two other names there.
