Simon Pegg and Nick Frost have been chosen to play the bumbling detectives, Thomson and Thompson, of the Tintin graphic novels in Steven Spielberg's upcoming, two movie series. The films are 3D performance-capture flicks co-financed by Sony and Paramount. In the series, the two detectives can only be told apart by the shape of their mustache; of course, Pegg and Frost look nothing alike.
Thomas Sangster had been cast for the lead, but pulled out following the Dreamworks/Paramount split.
