The Blood and IceCream Trilogy is not complete, but Simon Pegg and Nick Frost will once again be teaming up as the clumsy detectives Thompson and Thompson in the upcoming TinTin.
Simon Pegg and Nick Frost (the Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz duo) have landed the roles of Thomson and Thompson in director Steven Spielberg and producer Peter Jackson’s Tintin.
The movie will be animated with motion-capture technology and star Andy Serkis as Tintin’s friend Captain Haddock. Thomas Sangster was previously set to play Tintin but had to drop out because of scheduling conflicts
As I mentioned before, I was never a big TinTin fan, and only vaguely aware of its existance. Obviously this is far more popular than I realized as the International Friends came to its defense.
However I grow concerned that Pegg and Frost might bring too much of their own chemistry to the roles of the twins Thompson – not to be confused with 80s pop group Thompson Twins named after the characters. These characters have their established roles in the cartoon, and with Pegg and Frost the characters may take on a different role.
