He took friends and family to Paris to celebrate his birthday? A lot of travel miles recently! Is he going back to LA to work on TinTin?

I've read he loves french food. Lucky friends to have lunch at the Eiffel Tower.

Isn't his role in TinTin a small one? I imagine he mostly done with his part.

Oh, my tired brain was also thinking of Paris, France... But wondered why a Las Vegas paper was mentioning it... It is so good to have clear-headed people around you!

He might still be doing Tin Tin - they beefed up his role - so it might take longer..

GG did they really add more for his character? I just rewatched/reread that particular story and realized how much of a cameo it is. Maybe he'll be playing more than just one character? Who knows?

I took the info from here - can´t say for sure, if true, but why not - makes sense

Cool to find a fellow Tintin fantatic! As for your question on Red Reackham's role being upgraded. Yes, the part was made bigger. In fact, the script already changed a bit from the original book, because they got rid of the Bird brothers and their butler (and future butler of Captain Haddock) Nestor. Instead, they are introducing a rival journalist, an editor and an American interpol agent. While Moulinsart is very, VERY strict in their approach to faithfulness to the original work, they're probably reminded by Herge's words when he said that when it comes to Spielberg, the man should not be told how to do his work and that he therefor had creative freedom with Tintin. It's when Herge found out that there were rumor that Spielberg was not going to direct the first Tintin film that he backed out of the first project. Spielberg panicked and scheduled a meeting with Herge in Brussels. A week before the two men were supposed to meet, Herge passed away and the project was put on hold ... for 26 years!
