Spielberg was promoting the US premiere on December 21 of his Adventures of Tintin: Secret of the Unicorn, which already premiered in Brussels in October and has been on European, Middle Eastern and Indian release.

"In the sequel, the comic books' bumbling Thompson detective twins "have a much bigger role," Spielberg said.

This time, Spielberg will produce and Jackson will direct, swapping their roles in Unicorn.

"It's being written right now and he's directing it after he does The Hobbit and I'll produce it with him as he's produced this with me," Spielberg said.

"We have the story and we have the book we're adapting from Herge and we can't wait to get started."
