Simon Pegg And Nick Frost confirmed for Spielberg’s Tintin?
Simon Pegg revealed to the The Sunday Times back in September that Steven Spielberg had asked that he and Nick Frost play the Thompson Twins in Tintin. At the time it sounded like a casual suggestion, however according to a tipster at AICN it was more than that.
According to a reliable source not at all involved in the production, those rumblings we heard last fall about Simon Pegg and Nick Frost being cast as the Thomson and Thompson were right on the money. They’re in.
If you look at the image above you will notice that they do not look like twins. However, Spielberg will be using motion capture technology (Gollum, Davy Jones) so we may not be actually seeing them on screen, but we will be hearing their voices and seeing their performance.
Filming will begin shortly so we will probably get more casting news over the next few weeks. Andy Serkis is already confirmed for Captain Haddock, we just need Tintin, his dog and the rest of the characters!

The movie comes out in around 2 months, however we haven't got an official trailer yet. It's about time they released one me thinks…

Matt Smith will be the youngest doctor in the history of the show, and will be first seen on screen in 2010, after David Tennant has completed 4 TV movie specials throughout 2009.

The Weinstein Company have decided that they would start 2009 by announcing when Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds will be released. The film starring Brad Pitt, Diane Kruger and Christoph Waltz will be released on August 21, 2009. This puts the movie up against Final Destination: Death Trip 3D and comedy The Goods: The Don Ready Story (therefore there will be no competition).
The claw-pawed man-mutant cuts in front of his fellow X-Men with his own creation story, which traces how Logan's macho rivalry with Sabretooth (Liev Schreiber) and his thwarted love affair with Silver Fox (Lynn Collins) set the stage for his tranformation into Wolverine. So why did Hugh Jackman's character get the first Origins nod? ''It wasn't always part of the plan, but Hugh brought that character to vivid life,'' says producer Lauren Shuler Donner, recalling the…

A Japanese trailer for Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun Li has found it's way online via Youtube. I wouldn't say it looks bad, but I wouldn't say it looks great either. I think we'll have to wait until we get more stuff to form an opinion…
