Jackson updates on Tintin 2 and Rings
Filmmaker Peter Jackson recently took the stage at the Sitges Film Festival, offering a fresh look at the dynamic landscape of his ongoing projects, particularly within the beloved worlds of The Lord of the Rings and Tintin.
While celebrating the industry, Jackson provided tantalizing updates on his slate of work. He shared details about the complex saga of Middle-earth, touching upon both his involvement in new entries and the ongoing production of other major cinematic endeavors.
Jackson highlighted that one of his current projects, The Shadow of the Past, is currently in the scriptwriting stage, a project penned by Stephen Colbert and Philippa Boyens. Meanwhile, the massive undertaking of The Hunt for Gollum is nearing completion, with only a couple of weeks of shooting remaining before its planned release in December 2027.
Adding another layer of excitement, Jackson also revealed that he has already finalized the script for the second installment of the popular adventure series, Tintin 2, positioning it as his next major directorial venture.
This news comes amidst a fascinating history of cinematic collaboration. Jackson and Steven Spielberg share a storied past, a legendary pact that has seen them navigate the production and direction of the first Tintin film, and subsequent ventures. While the exact adaptation for their next joint project remains a creative secret, speculation often points toward adapting stories like The Seven Crystal Balls or Prisoners of the Sun.
Though rumors occasionally surfaced regarding the status of The Shadow of the Past following studio mergers, those claims were quickly set aside, leaving the focus firmly on the creative momentum driving Jackson’s next chapter. It is clear that the wellspring of storytelling remains as rich and prolific as ever.
