Peter Jackson template

The template {{Peter Jackson}} covers the films that are directed by him, and Tintin is not (going to be) one of those. I am not sure if the template belongs in this film article. —Erik (talk • contrib) 17:04, 28 December 2008 (UTC)

The template can cover the films he produces as well. Alientraveller (talk) 17:07, 28 December 2008 (UTC)

Nevermind, when I looked at the revision, I only saw "Films directed by Peter Jackson". I didn't realize there were some changes going on with the template. —Erik (talk • contrib) 17:09, 28 December 2008 (UTC)

Let's talk about it at Template talk:Peter Jackson#Fine-tuning the template. —Erik (talk • contrib) 17:11, 28 December 2008 (UTC)

Film coverage

The Economist had an article about Tintin and touched the film:

“ Mrs. [Fanny] Rodwell confesses to seeing risks in Hollywood doing Tintin. To her, the charm of Hergé's work is absolutely 'European'—more 'nuanced' than an American comic strip. The American style of telling a story threatens that European 'sensibility', she suggests: American narratives are 'very dynamic, but more violent, and are much more aggressively paced.'
Hergé wanted the risk taken. He died days before a planned face-to-face meeting with Mr. Spielberg, but had been briefed on the director's thinking by a trusted assistant, Alain Baran, sent to Los Angeles to open negotiations. Mr. Baran later wrote that Mr. Spielberg saw Tintin as an "Indiana Jones for kids", imagining Jack Nicholson as Captain Haddock. Such talk did not alarm Hergé. He said a film-maker like Mr. Spielberg should be given free rein, and told his wife: 'This Tintin will doubtless be different, but it will be a good Tintin.' ”

This is sourced via The Washington Times. Do you think it's worth adding the offline cite? Alientraveller (talk) 23:51, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

Nevermind. :P I looked at the first paragraph which was up to Hegre's death and didn't see it. This must be the sixth time I've offered material already included in an article that you already take good care of, AT. —Erik (talk • contrib) 23:53, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

Propose article renamed to The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn

Even though this has been proposed before, I propose the article be renamed to The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn from it's current name The Adventures of Tintin (film). Not only is the longer name the correct title outside the U.S., the longer name is the only practical way Wikipedia should handle a trilogy of The Adventures of Tintin films, as each article will need a unique and meaningful name. If we prepare now, each of the three articles will ultimately be named "The Adventures of Tintin: [subtitle name here]", while the article named The Adventures of Tintin (film) will be a disambiguation page to the three articles. What are everyone's thoughts? Prhartcom (talk) 05:04, 4 August 2014 (UTC)

• Support: secret of the unicorn also is the more common name. Kailash29792 (talk) 05:39, 4 August 2014 (UTC)
• Oppose per WP:RETAIN and the fact that this isn't a proper Move Request.--JOJ ^Hutton 04:03, 30 January 2015 (UTC)
