Last May, it was announced that Steven Spielberg and Peter Jackson were to direct and produce three performance-capture films based on Georges Remi’s 1929 comic strip, Tintin.

Since then, rumors surfaced that Spielberg would no longer be directing the first movie in the planned film trilogy and that Jackson would be moving up from directing the second film to the first.

Now, there’s news that both Jackson’s and Spielberg’s people have confirmed that nothing has changed and that Spielberg would still do the first and Jackson would do the second.

No word yet on who’s going to tackle the third movie, but I think it’s obvious that it’s there for George Lucas to slaughter.

I made that last part up, of course (but still, you never know).
