Spielberg casts Jamie Bell as Tintin
Daniel Craig also joins cast of the 3-D motion-capture film of Hergé's comic strip, which already includes Simon Pegg, Nick Frost and Andy Serkis
Billy Elliot star Jamie Bell has been cast as Tintin in Steven Spielberg's adaptation of the much-loved Hergé comic strip about an intrepid Belgian reporter, Variety reports.
Bell replaces Love Actually star Thomas Sangster, who pulled out of the project when it was delayed due to funding issues. James Bond star Daniel Craig has also joined the cast as villainous pirate Red Rackham.
The two are the latest additions to a high-profile cast with a distinctly British flavour. Earlier this month, Hot Fuzz stars Simon Pegg and Nick Frost were cast as the bumbling detectives Thomson and Thompson, while Andy Serkis signed up some time ago to play Tintin's salty sidekick Captain Haddock.
The film, which will be called The Adventures of Tintin: Secret of the Unicorn, is the first in a planned 3-D motion-capture trilogy conceived by Spielberg and Lord of the Rings director Peter Jackson. The plan was for Spielberg to direct the first film, Jackson the second and an unnamed director the third. The project ran into difficulties last year after Universal studios balkedat at the huge price tag, but it now looks to be back on track: Paramount and Sony are the new partners in the first film, which is set for release in 2011.
The screenplay has been written by Steven Moffat, Joe Cornish and Edgar Wright, whose involvement may well explain the presence of Pegg and Frost. Toby Jones and Mackenzie Crook have also joined the cast.
