Ain't It Cool News has received word that Simon Pegg and Nick Frost (the Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz duo) have landed the roles of Thomson and Thompson in director Steven Spielberg and producer Peter Jackson's Tintin.

The movie will be animated with motion-capture technology and star Andy Serkis as Tintin's friend Captain Haddock. Thomas Sangster was previously set to play Tintin but had to drop out because of scheduling conflicts. A new Tintin has not been announced.

DreamWorks' first "Tintin" feature, targeted for a 2010 release, will be based on two of the books, "The Secret of the Unicorn" and "Red Rackham's Treasure," written by Tintin creator Herge between 1942 and 1944.

The second film will be directed by Jackson

They should. It's going to be two movies, with Spielberg Directing the first and producing the second, and Peter Jackson directing the second and producing the first.

They could be good films but I'm not really excited about them.

I'm not excited about them at the moment but i'm waiting to see what it will look like first.

I can't wait to see what turns up. I love Tintin's backgrounds, they still give me the 'holy crap' feeling.
