Tintin may be 90 years old today, but the boy hero is about to get himself into a whole new snake pit of scrapes. A new Tintin book is also in the offing, the Belgian publishing house said. Casterman’s editorial director Benoit Mouchart said that it is part of a planned trilogy of live-action Tintin films. A book featuring the daring young journalist and his dog Snowy, Tintin in the Land of the Soviets, appeared the following year, making its creator Herge a star. Herge had abandoned the project, which features Tintin, Captain Haddock and Professor Calculus, after drawing the first eight pages.
