The Adventures of Tintin in the sandbox

thats the only thing i can think of when i see the movie poster for this

#toomuchtimeonilx

have they said they're doing that or were you just reading into the ending? i assumed since they already used the twist ending of Red Rackham's Treasure in this movie that they were just gonna ditch the rest of it, since that book is more of a comedy one than an action one anyway

I really can't see them ditching it entirely -- it does introduce Calculus specifically in the context of said treasure hunt, and the shark submarine rules, so. But if that and Prisoners of the Sun got smooshed together, well, it could work...

clip of the 1961 film included:

(also I am quoted in front of Richard Brody)

well book-wise, 'prisoners of the sun' was part 2 of 'seven crystal balls' so they've already got 2 books worth to work with. can't remember if calculus had an important role in those or if he was just there for the sake of being there
