While Mortal Engines does sound interesting, some Peter Jackson fans might be wishing that the Oscar-winning director was instead investing more of his time in the follow up to 2011’s The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn.
Mortal Engines is a 4-novel series, written by prolific British author Philip Reeve.
With the storytelling abilities of Jackson, Boyens and Walsh together again, there’s a very good chance that Universal will have a new franchise on their hands with Mortal Engines.
Tintin likely has a much broader fanbase than that of Mortal Engines, but for whatever reason, right now the latter seems to be more of a priority.
