Daniel Craig and Jamie Bell confirmed for Tintin

Daniel Craig, pictured left at LAX recently, has been confirmed as the pirate Red Rackham in a new screen production of Tintin.

“The Adventures Of Tintin: Secret Of The Unicorn,” is set for release next year, and I look forward to seeing how the costumes translate to the big screen, especially with Daniel Craig, someone who regularly tops the best dressed lists.

He joins Jamie Bell, cast in the starring role as Tintin, and a cracking supporting cast which includes Simon Pegg and Nick Frost as the Thompson Twins, Andy Serkis as Captain Haddock> The film also features Toby Jones and Mackenzie Crook and with Edgar Wright (Shaun of the Dead) and Joe Cornish (Adam &Joe) assisting Stephen Moffat on scriptwriting duties it promises to be mightily fun.
