AICN is confirming that Nick Frost and Simon Pegg will be playing Thomson and Thompson in the Tintin movie.
I have no idea who those two are, but I don't see Andy Serkis as Captain Haddock at all.
However, I'm glad that project is on again. Is it really going to be out in 2010? I still want to know which volumes they are adapting.

They have the best screen duo chemistry in the universe. This is only a slight case of hyperbole.
I'll bring Hot Fuzz with me when I come to SF.

True words. They're up there with Clooney/Pitt (Soderbergh edition).
They look vaguely familiar, but I haven't seen anything they've been in. But I trust the hivemind.
ETA: Dupond and Dupont are way more important to me than Haddock.

I believe TiVo has done your job for you.
megan, rent the Spaced dvds! You'll get to see Simon Pegg at his best, and Nick Frost is wonderful in his first acting gig (he was Pegg's roomie and a waiter, and Pegg had to convince the director that Frost would be perfect in the role, which he was).
Also, Spaced just happens to be the best sitcom of the past ten years, possibly twenty.

Also, if you get BBCAmerica, you can see Nick Frost in Kinky Boots tonight.

I was SO impressed with Chiwetel Ejiofor in that.
