According to Ain't It Cool News, funny men Simon Pegg and Nick Frost have been cast as the Thomson and Thompson twins for Steven Speilberg's film adaptation of the classic 'Tintin' comics.
Having Pegg and Frost on board takes the total cast number up to three as they join Andy Serkis who will be playing Captain Haddock.
Thomas Sangster was originally set for the title role as Tintin but, had to pass up the opportunity because of scheduling conflicts so, the search for Tintin continues. The slot is bound to be filled soon as production is rumoured to start in a months time.
Sony and Paramount will be co-financing the Speilberg and Peter Jackson trilogy after it was passed on by Universal Studios.
The first installment is due to hit cinemas in 2010.
