Peter Jackson, who is co-producing Tintin with Steven Spielberg, says the movie is almost made but “exists in a very rough state” at present.

“Tintin is great. It’’s made. The movie is cut together and now [we] are turning it into a fully-rendered film,” the BBC quoted him, as saying.

“So the movie, to some degree, exists in a very rough state.”

Jackson is best known for The Lord of the Rings trilogy adapted from the novel by J. R. R. Tolkien.

He is also known for his 2005 remake of King Kong and as the producer of the critically acclaimed film District 9.
