I just posted a couple of entries over at my Examiner.com/Tintin blog.
The first is on Paramount Pictures and how movie franchises like Tintin are supposed to save their financial rear ends. Read about it here.
The second is about a cool event the Hergé museum is doing on China, The Blue Lotus and the relationship of Hergé and Chang. Find out about it here.

Over on the John Williams Fan Network site, the composer “speaks” about the music he is composing for the upcoming Tintin film.
I’m currently orchestrating a large piece with a number of ideas. The main theme is highly energetic, filled with great tonal twists and turns, reflecting, I suspect, Tintin’s heroic energy. It will become a classic, I think. To give more information would be to reveal things that I don’t … want to say.
We are at the beginning of the process. The main scoring sessions are off in February.
Also, let me say with regard to Tintin, I believe, as with “Potter” and Catch Me if you Can, people will be both surprised and not surprised by how the music is both “expected” and “UN-expected”— before you hear it.
For more information, please visit the Fan Page.
The BBC has a nice video report on the Hergé Museum, also known by Tintin fans as the “Tintin Museum”. Find it here.

Just ran across the best article on the new Hergé Museum I have seen. (seen better? make a comment.) It is from the blog, JudexJones.com. Enjoy!

A while ago I complained that the new Hergé museum website did not have an English language version. I am very pleased to report that they finally got their act together and now non-French speakers can virtually tour the museum. Good job Moulinsart!
