Deyana, guess it is true that we have two solitudes (if not more). Here in Montréal there are restaurants and other things named after Tintin-related characters, places and stories. There was also a character nicknamed "Tintin" in a popular Radio-Canada series about a fictional newspaper.
Odd that he never made it to Paris, since he has been elsewhere in France.

Yes, but wasn't he based in Paris?
That is the niftiest website! Who is playing Snowy? I can't wait to see this movie. One of my favorite movies ever was "Popeye" because it incorporated all the really old characters and look of the original comic strip.
And in the "huh?" department:
LaGatta, what does this mean, please? "... we have two solitudes ..."
and Casimira, I finally figured out your joke by looking at the Ports of Call main page. Whew!

Two Solitudes was a famous book in Canada by Hugh McLennan (I think) about the gulf between English and French Canada.
Tintin was Belgian (as was his creator). It wasn't really mentioned where he was living, but most likely it was Brussels.

Before he moved to Moulinsart (I just learned that it was called Marlinspike in English today), he indeed apparently lived in Brussels.
The Château de Moulinsart was a copy of Cheverny in the Loire Valley, one of the smaller châteaux of the region.

 Thanks, Bjd. I'm embarrassed because I should have remembered that. My son had bunches of Tin-Tin books when he was young, and I avidly devoured them as well.

The movie should come out next year... in 3D motion capture, of course.
In France, all we know is that Gad Elmaleh is in it -- he is a French star who grew up in Morocco and moved to Québec before becoming a star in France.
If one is to believe the Imdb site, The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn will be released in the U.S. on December 23, 2011, but there is a vague release date of October 2011 for Sweden. However, the latest project for Spielberg as a producer is "Untitled Third Tintin Film" for 2013, which certainly implies a long term relationship.

Which character would Gad play? He doesn't look like Tintin, the Captain, the twin detectives or la Castafiore... Ah, he plays a Moroccan villain! He'd have fun with that.
Gad Elmaleh has this wonderful mobile face - he can play broad comedy, drama or a handsome Mediterranean type... He's been in some very good films and some very forgettable ones.
In French Wikipedia, there is a Tintin portal.
By the way, he doesn't seem to have got to the Netherlands either. Belgian autarchy?

He has a minor role, apparently, but of course he peed his pants in excitement to be called by Spielberg. Maybe he plays Nestor (doesn't look like him either).

I don't think Tintin said everywhere he went. Would you?
