There’s always something new and exciting in the world of Tintin. Here’s the latest!
The Hergé Museum near Brussels
When the Dalai Lama pays a visit to Belgium at the end of this month, a little piece of Tibet will pay a visit to the Hergé Museum, near Brussels. Opening on Saturday, May 19, the Into Tibet with Tintin temporary exhibition will take people on a journey to the Roof of the World…with Tintin as their mountain guide!
Do try to catch this fantastic exhibition. It will run through September 16.
This week Little, Brown —the American publisher of Tintin since 1974— has published titles 9 and 10 in the Young Readers Tintin series: ‘The Crab with the Golden Claws’ and ‘The Shooting Star’. This new format, crafted specifically for younger readers, features the original Tintin graphic novel plus brand-new content. Seven pages at the front of each new edition introduce principal characters of the adventures, and twenty-three pages at the end take you “behind the scenes” with the true story about people, places and antiquities that Hergé drew from, filled with fun facts, lots of pictures, and easy-to-read text!
6 of the books in the series are currently available on the Tintin Store (click the images to access the store):
Titles 9 & 10 will be available soon on the Tintin store. They can be purchased now at Amazon.com:

We are very proud and excited to announce the creation of our new FEATURE STORY series on the Tintin.com News & Happenings page.

A heartfelt congratulations to The Artist. If The Adventures of Tintin (and the brilliant John Williams) had to lose to somebody in the category of Music (Original Score), we’re glad it was you! It was one of many well deserved victories at the Academy Awards last night for the entertaining French film. In all, The Artist won 5 awards including Best Picture, Director and Lead Actor.
The Adventures of Tintin is available for pre-order now on DVD, Blu-ray & 3-D Blu-ray

With the theatrical run of The Adventures of Tintin complete, or nearing completion, in most countries the attention now turns to its sequel. When will it be released? Which Adventure(s) will it be based off of? And will Professor Calculus be in it?!?!
Here’s some of what we know so far… Back in December, producer Kathleen Kennedy confirmed that the sequel won’t be Prisoners of the Sun, as previously rumored, and mentioned that one of Peter Jackson’s favorite Adventures is being considered (Jackson had previously listed The Seven Crystal Balls, King Ottokar’s Sceptre and The Calculus Affair as favorites: http://www.empireonline.com/news/story.asp?NID=29355). Last month, director Steven Spielberg toyed with us again (http://collider.com/steven-spielberg-lincoln-tintin-sequels-jurassic-park-4-interview/137598/) stating that the sequel would begin ‘performance capture work with the actors later in 2012′ and would feature ‘more than one book but not three books’.
Will we get another update (or tease) this month? Let’s hope so!
It seems that everyone has an awards ceremony these days. There are critics awards, guild awards (such as The Screen Actors Guild or the Director’s Guild of America), and even Golden Raspberry Awards (or Razzies – which are awarded to the worst films of the year).
Fortunately, the critics and guilds love The Adventures of Tintin. The film was a winner at the Producers Guild of America Awards (in the category of Animated Theatrical Motion Pictures) and at the Toronto Film Critics Association Awards (Best Animated Feature). The Adventures of Tintin has also been nominated for two BAFTA Film Awards (the most prestigious of British film awards) in the categories of Best Animated Film and Best Special Visual Effects.
Paramount Pictures and Columbia Pictures Present a 3D Motion Capture Film, The Adventures of Tintin, directed by Steven Spielberg.
