Spotlight On Tim Burton

Director Updates
Peter Jackson’s next movie is an adaptation of Alice Sebold’s novel THE LOVELY BONES, starring Mark Wahlberg, Rachel Weisz, Susan Sarandon, Stanley Tucci and Saorise Ronan. He will then make the second TINTIN in conjunction with Steven Spielberg, which is part of a trilogy. The third director is undecided, but it will probably be either Jackson or Spielberg. He also has the rights to the fantasy series TEMERAIRE, which he might have plans to direct somewhere down the line.
