Its been announced that James Bond star Daniel Craig (currently on our screens in the powerful WWII film Defiance) and Billy Elliot star Jamie Bell will be in the Steven Spielberg/Peter Jackson Tintin movie. Craig and his smouldering blue eyes (steady now!) will be taking on the villainous role of Red Rackham, while Bell will be taking on the role of Tintin after Thomas Sangster left the project amidst the delays and uncertainties caused by various legal and financial problems. Bell and Craig join Nick Frost, Andy Serkis and Simon Pegg in the first film, which according to the BBC has already begun filming.

I bet they will just make this movie top out at the box office! I can’t wait to see what kind of ratings it will get! I can’t wait to see it either! What choice of actors!
