Screenwriter confirms Professor Cuthbert Calculus for The Adventures of Tintin Sequel

Although the Adventures of Tintin didn't perform well at the domestic boxoffice, it was a major hit overseas. The movie was also nominated for the best animation picture category at the Oscars, but gave the award to Johnny Depp starred "Rango".

The director Steven Spielberg is not ready to easily let go the Tintin movie, and so he and his crew are back in adopting Hergé’s famous comic books for sequel. screenwriter Anthony Horowitz wrote in his twitter account that we can expect to meet Professor Cuthbert Calculus
in Tintin's next adventure on big screen.

Professor Cuthbert Calculus is an absent-minded, hard-of-hearing scientist who invents many sophisticated devices used in the series, such as a one-person shark-shaped submarine, the Moon rocket and an ultrasound weapon. The character first appeared in Red Rackham’s Treasure, but he went on to appear in The Seven Crystal Balls, Destination Moon, Explorers On The Moon, The Calculus Affair, Flight 714, The Castafiore Emerald, Tintin and the Picaros and The Red Sea Sharks.

Fans of the Tintin are assuming that Red Rackham’s Treasure would be the sequel. However, the movie had been previously rumoured to be based on Prisoners of the Sun, which also features Calculus.

Now lets just wait and see who will be cast to voice this genius character! The film is expected to be released in 2013.
