Daniel Craig has been cast as the 'villain Red Rackham' in the new Tintin movie that Spielberg is doing. Every film that Craig has been in has been a terrible flop. Oh and there is no Red Rackham in the book. He's a historical character and he and Tintin never meet. Another kiss of death for the project is that Peter Jackson will direct a sequel. Oh no. Not Peter 'self indulgently make King Kong over three hours long when the Simpsons did the movie in ten minutes' Jackson.
On the plus side Stephen Moffat is the writer. He's currently the main guy on Dr. Who but I always remember him on Coupling, one of the cleverest and funniest shows ever. Andy Serkis as Captain Haddock will be either genius or just plain wrong. Tintin himself is perversely not an important casting job. The character is an everyman, quite bland and personality free. A blank canvas for the other characters to be painted onto.
They better not screw with something as good as Tintin. I personally think it won't work. The hook was always the quality of the line drawings in the artwork and the way they moved the story and depicted the action and drama in those tiny cells. So good it inspired Andy Warhol.

Really? I think they have a good concept going here and it will be a good trilogy! I can't wait to see what kind of reviews it will get! I mean c'mon...3-D!
I totally agree. I sooooo want this film to be good fun. The ideas are right. But it would be so easy to get it wrong. Remember AI?
