inmyriadbitsHave I mentioned that I'm really excited about The Adventures of Tintin? I mean, I loved the books as a kid, for starters. Then, Steven Spielberg is directing. Also, the voice cast includes Jamie Bell, Daniel Craig, Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, Cary Elwes, and about half a dozen other people that I know and love. AND, the screenplay was written by Steven Moffat, and Edgar Wright & Joe Cornish.
Okay, a quick lesson for those who might not know: in screenwriting credits, when a pair or team of writers works together on a script, their names are joined by an ampersand (&). When two writers or groups of writers work successively on a script, their names are joined by an "and". This means that Steven Moffat likely wrote the main draft (hopefully with all his usual wacky-adventures-with-devastatingly-creepy-undertones style firmly in place), and from what I know of Edgar Wright and Joe Cornish -- who have worked on Spaced, Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, and Attack The Block, and, to my great delight, apparently will be doing the Ant-Man movie together -- they were likely given the script afterwards to punch up the humor.
I think this sounds completely excellent all around. I mean, they could still fuck it up, but with that much awesome hanging around, they would have to work really really hard to manage it.

I just realized that I totally forgot to mention Peter Jackson up there, too. There are just too many awesome people on this film! I can't remember them all!
