‘Tintin’ Sequel Plot Rumors…

I thoroughly enjoyed The Adventures of Tintin. And I’m glad two sequels are already in place, a decision justified by positive reviews and even more positive box office results. Especially in Europe. Thoughts have now turned to the first of the two sequels, and which Tintin stories will be adapted for it. The first movie...

‘The Adventures of Tintin’ Movie Review

The Adventures of Tintin is a movie you should go and see. I’ll put that right up front so that those who can’t be bothered reading any further are sated immediately. It doesn’t matter if you know who or what Tintin is, as I gather many Americans do not, this is a film that has...

Way back in September, there was a little rumor doing the rounds about Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, British comic geniuses, being cast as the Thompson Twins in the new Steven Spielberg-directed Tintin movie.

Simon Pegg and Nick Frost To Be Thompson Twins In ‘Tintin’?

Simon Pegg and Nick Frost are geniuses. Don’t argue. They not only both starred in Spaced, one of my favourite television sitcoms ever made, but then went on to kill zombies in Shaun Of The Dead and shoot bad guys in Hot Fuzz, two of the best British comedies of recent years. Then there’s the...
