"The Adventures of Tintin", first penned in 1929 by Brussels-born author Georges Remi, better known as Herge, are already hugely popular in most of Europe and Spielberg said he hoped his film would find fresh fans.
"American audiences will look at this as an original movie," Spielberg told reporters in Brussels.
"Hopefully, if it is successful in America, perhaps for the first time in 80 years the books will start being published in America."
The Adventures of Tintin hits theaters on December 23rd, 2011.
Cast: Daniel Craig, Simon Pegg, Jamie Bell, Cary Elwes, Andy Serkis
Thrilling and wildly funny, the Tintin stories chronicle the escapades of a junior reporter who has a nose for a good story and a talent for attracting trouble, which more often than not imperils his life! Spielberg and Jackson have selected three stories from the Tintin book series to develop into theatrical feature films, which they intend to direct back to back, employing state of the art performance capture technology.
