Do we have a Tintin? Mar. 24, 2008
Source: Daily Telegraph by: Ben Barna

It’s a strange thing to discuss the casting of an actor in the lead role of an animated film, but such are the steaming advances in cinema, specifically in the area of motion capture. The upcoming TINTIN trilogy to be directed by indie directors Steven Spielberg and Peter Jackson seems to have found the primary subject of its technological experiments in 17-year-old British actor Thomas Sangster. Nothing is official yet, but the Daily Telegraph is reporting that Sangster has recently been to LA to work on ‘pre-production sequences’ with both directors. TINTIN will of course use the same motion capture technology seen in BEOWULF and THE POLAR EXPRESS, but unlike those films—where the character resembled the actors that played them—Sangster will most likely resemble the Tintin from the Belgian comics. You might recognize Sangster as Liam Neeson’s stepson in LOVE, ACTUALLY, or as one of the kids in NANNY MCPHEE. Peter Jackson regular and motion-capture vet Andy Serkis is already onboard to play Tintin’s sidekick Captain Haddock. But I suppose we’ll just have to wait for an official announcement to see if there is any truth to these Tintin rumours. Stay tuned.

Extra Tidbit: Sangster is the second cousin once-removed of Hugh Grant. Ah, nepotism.

I always thought pegg would be tintin as well but I suppose it won't matter what they look like seen as its motion capture.
And is that a resent picture of Sangster? If so I thought I looked young it must be a bitch for him to get served on a night out (supposing that he actually goes out out.)
and I agree with Helboy this is probably bs as far as iv seen none of the reports from our papers have been right.

I agreed with that guy that they should make it into the live action movie. TINTIN cartoon are just too dull, i never like it. or maybe Spielberg think it will too much like Indiana Jones. Come to think of it, Indiana Jones do look like a riffoff of Tintin.

WELL
personally, i don't trust British newspapers when they report on film news. if it was The Sun that had reported that, i would've set fire to the internet. The Daily Telegraph? i don't buy it. this isn't our Tintin.
also, that kid annoys the heck out of me. him and Freddie Highmore. you don't find many London-born kids who speak like that anymore, no sir. and how the heck is wannabe-Tintin there SEVENTEEN? i call bullshit.

First off, Simon Pegg as Tintin...no.

Secondly, Thomas Sangster as Tintin... *shrugs* I haven't seen him play "older" yet, and I've always pictured Tintin as being played by someone more like Orlando Bloom (f*ck off if you have a problem with that, alright?!), so I have no idea what to make of this.

Ultimately, however, I trust Spielberg and Jackson, so that's all I'll go by.

This kid was also in DOCTOR WHO.

BTW, i'd like to see live action just for the simple fact that we've seen an animated Tintin before. That show ruled.

TINTIN SHOULD BE LIVE ACTION
Why the hell do they have to make this film animated? Why is it necessary? The Tintin comics is based on the real world. Think of how much more interesting it would be as a live action film with real actors.

Didn't they say that Simon Pegg will be Tintin? I mean, he looks like him!
