There's some good names on here, I'll have to see it. But I can't say I've heard of anything the film is based off of, so I'll probably be seeing it just because of Pegg and Frost. Shaun of the Dead, and Hot Fuzz are some of the best comedy movies out there!

Ok i like this idea and Frost & Pegg really capture the actual comic characters, Pegg is actually quite perfect for the main character.
But announcing Tintin 2 before the first film hasn't even finished pre-production is a little over the top.
What IF this blows in the box-office or doesn't meet the studios profit expectations to be privileged a sequel?
And yes i know and am aware it's Jackson & Spielberg

I'm looking forward to this, but I'm disappointed that it will not be live action.
