It tends to trail some way behind the announcements. The Daily Mail article does spells the character's name as Alan and refer to them as Danial Craig's sidekicks but the Daily Mail is often wrong. The original casting list has it as Allan but lists the character as "Allen & Ernie, two seamen smugglers disguised as workmen" - see [ http://tintinmovie.org/2007/10/28/tintin-movie-casting-begins/ ]. I suspect you are right and Allan is the first mate from the Karaboudjan in the crab withe golden claws. Ernie is likely to be one of the ship's crew.

Allan could be the Allan from Golden Claws, and Ernie could either be a pirate, or he could be one of Allan's men. If you are unaware of the IMDB on Tintin Movie, I think you should consider having a look.
