News > Sangster Cast in Spielberg and Jackson's Tintin?

Written by David Morgan

The rumor is that Steven Spielberg and Peter Jackson have found the right actor to play Tintin in their trilogy of the same name. 17-year-old British actor Thomas Sangster (Love, Actually; Nanny McPhee) has reportedly been cast, though DreamWorks has declined to verify the claim reported by London's Daily Mail (and brought to us by THR). 

The trilogy (with a film directed by Spielberg, one by Jackson, and a third possibly by another director) will be performance-capture, and follow the exploits of a young Belgian reporter created by author and artist Georges Remi. Andy Serkis has been cast as Tintin's pal Captain Haddock.
