According to this, this and this website, Peter Jackson and Steven Spielberg are making three movies based on The Adventures of Tintin! Awesome!
Casting has already begun, although it would seem Jackson’s version will appear before Spielberg’s. The movies will be full CGI (sort of like Beowulf). Which I think, is better, since the artwork should then remain true. It would be kind of strange to see some live version of Tintin, particularly with that hair, running around the streets of Cairo.
Speculation on this website points to the following books being made into movies: The Secret of The Unicorn/ Red Rackham’s Treasure, and The Crab With The Golden Claws. Also, Andy Serkis (Gollum), seems to have been cast to play Captain Haddock.
There’s a blank page up on IMDB right now for a 2009 movie titled “Tintin“. Long wait. Oh well, maybe I’ll give the books a read through to pass the time.
Zibahkhana seems to be a good, bloody, gory zombie movie. And its made in Pakistan, amazingly enough.
Check out their website, and watch the trailer (Be warned though, they give the whole story away). It seems to be the tried and tested horror story. Kids get together to go to a concert, take a “shortcut” and end up in a Texas Chainsaw Massacre-esque house. On the way they get to meet the neighborhood zombies. Blah Blah.
Why is this one important? Movies like this don’t usually get made in Pakistan. It’ll be interesting to see people screaming in Urdu ( in a sick, twisted, perverted way). Plus, they have a dwarf zombie! I mean, zombie movies are always fun, right? ;)
Its been previewed by a lot of reputable sites, including Variety and Time Magazine. It even has its own IMDB page!
Looks like this trend towards better quality movies is starting to take over Pakistani cinema. But this movie does form a heavy contrast with the much more serious Khuda Kay Liye.
Unfortunately, Zibahkhana doesnt look to be released in Pakistan. According to Variety,
Producers are almost certain “Zibahkhana” will not be approved for domestic release by Pakistan’s censor board. Nevertheless, both producer and director believe in the marketability of their project.
Hopefully, it will be available on DVD. Here’s the trailer. (WARNING: Very, very, VERY, GORY. Stay away if you have a weak stomach or have not been able to sit through the likes of Saw.)
