Speaking with Empire Magazine, Peter Jackson revealed some details on the upcoming Tintin motion capture project, noting his involvement in both the first and the second film.

He is producing the first, with Spielberg directing. However, a week of reshoots will be done in June in his Wellington studios to fix any issues that need to be fixed from the original month-long shoot earlier this year.

Jackson said: “We’re kind of co-directing. I mean, we are co-doing it. Steven’s been on set with the actors for the last six weeks, and I was only there for a week. So he’s definitely directing the first in a way that I’m not" says Jackson.”

He admitted that while the base story for the first film will be based on The Secret of the Unicorn, it will also use elements from Herge’s other books to flesh things out.

The first is due out next year, with the sequel expected out in 2011.
