Peter Jackson has revealed that there has is no ego between himself and Steven Spielberg on their new movie The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn.
The two Oscar winning filmmakers have teamed up, Spielberg is directing while Jackson is producing, for a 3D animated version of the hit cartoon.
And while both directors have huge experience behind the camera and in the editing room Jackson insists that there has been fall outs between the pair.
Speaking to Empire magazine Jackson said: "There is no ego. I don’t care if my ideas are taken on board or not, and Steven is the same.
"The problems with collaborations, in my experience, only occur when one of the parties is insecure or has an ego.
"That’s what creates the problem, and that’s not really true of Steven and me."
It’s the first movie in the director’s chair for Spielberg since Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull in 2008.
While Jackson has already had success this year when he helmed the big screen adaptation of The Lovely Bones. And he is set to go back behind the camera in the new year t direct The Hobbit.
The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn is released 26th October 2011.
