Tin Tin

Casting news aplenty on Steven Spielberg's / Peter Jackson's motion capture Tin Tin trilogy.  Spielberg will direct the first of the films and has just announced that Tin Tin will be played by Jamie Bell, of Billy Elliott fame.  Bell will be reunited with his King Kong co-star Andy Serkis, who takes on the Captain Haddock role.

Daniel Craig is taking on lead villain duties as Red Rackham.

Somewhat bizzarely, the Thompson Twins will be played by Shaun of The Dead / Hot Fuzz duo Simon Pegg and Nick Frost.

Watchmen




Now the legal shennanigans seem to have been sorted, here's the presumably final poster for Watchmen.  Whilst this photoshopped job lacks the imagination of earlier designs, anything that can drag a mainstream audience into a three hour R rated comic book movie is fine by me.
