Of course it is just rumors but at http://celluloidandcigaretteburns.blogspot.com/2009/01/tintin-secret-of-unicorn-2010.html at the very end they mention how Toby Jones will ''most likely play professor Calculus''. Another page http://www.examiner.com/x-12467-Tintin-Examiner~y2009m6d1-The-Tintin-movie-so-far put a link to the post in a post with little information we didn't already know. I find no other pages online and I don't know where the first page got it's info. But I do know that Toby Jones has been cast in the movie as Aristides Silk,the pickpocket. I noticed that there are a few other parts not mentioned as well,like the Bird Brothers for example. Could actors be playing multiple parts perhaps? It wouldn't be a new idea. All you have to do is watch ''A Christmas Carol'' or better yet,''The Polar Express'' to find movies where one actor played almost half the cast. Spielberg obviously isn't going to that extreme,but he does have the opportunity to pay one actor to do several roles and with motion capture it hardly makes any sense to pay for as many actors as he used to have to if less could do the job just as well or better. Maybe Calculus and Silk are both the same guy. Maybe the Bird brothers,if they are in the movie,are being played by anybody on the IMDB list and they just haven't told us. I could easily be wrong,but that is my guess. If I find anything else I'll post it here.

In fact they have been announced and appeared on IMDb many many months ago. The great thing about this cast is that it is international (I for one am excited about Gad Elmaleh, among others). You can see the longer version of the cast + crew here: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0983193/ Note here, that Spielberg and Co. aren't going for huge stars here but rather for character actors and performers. This is really encouraging. By the way, I cannot belive you don't recognize Cary Elwes. He is the main hero in Princess Bride and Robin Hood: Men In Tights, for starters. I suggest checking out the pictures on the IMDb site. A lot of names are really quite familiar. By the way, if you go on the official site of the actress who plays (Bianca Castafiore) you will see that she is a real opera singer :) ! And there's also a short comment about her participation in the film here: http://www.thephantomoftheopera.com/us_tour/meet_the_people/cast/kim_stengel_May09.php She is currently in post-production for the upcoming motion-capture animated film The Adventures of Tintin: Secret of the Unicorn with director Steven Spielberg and producer Peter Jackson scheduled for release in December, 2011. She will portray the role of Bianca Castafiore opposite Daniel Craig, Jamie Bell and Andy Serkis. Her many entrepreneurial endeavors can be found at www.KimStengel.com.

After all, This movie is said to tell Secret of the Unicorn AND Red Rackham's Treasure, among others for consistency (the introduction of the captain, for example). However, I do admit that there is no real confirmation that Red Rackham's Treasure isn't the second film, but with Peter Jackson debating on what his next movie will be, it leads me to assume that Red Rackham's Treasure will not be the sequel, and that the two-part story will be wrapped up in one single film. I have no problem with this at all; they must assume there is a chance that the film will not be a success, and they will not include a cliffhanger for their first film. Like I said, my problem is that some characters haven't been cast (or perhaps have, just not yet revealed to the public). Characters like Professor Calculus, Ivan Sakharine, and the Bird Brothers have not been confirmed to be evenfeatured in the film. Not to mention, there are the two fictional characters made especially for the film. Has that idea been forgotten, scrapped, or is it going ahead? Without a fully confirmed cast list, there's no way to find out! Still, whatever they may be, it is clear that this film is going to stand out. With a logo like that, and with the vision Spielberg and Jackson have, it's hard to imagine what the film will look like. But as a Tintin fan, I will still go see it, even if it ultimately fails at the box-office. I don't see how that can happen, but we must nevertheless be realistic. Still, if anyone has any information at all on the rest of the cast (ie. the characters I have mentioned), I would be thankful if you were to let us all in on it.

It really looks just like the real one but red. The rest of the world will recognize Tintin's bold name in red letter by next Christmas! Hey Chris,I noticed on this webpage that Proman left a link to that there are several names in the ''cast'' section below that you don't have on the side of your page with the others. In case you are interested in updating or adding another post on the cast,the ''new'' names are Cary Elwes,Tony Curran and Sebastian Roché. I'm not one to talk but I've never heard of any of them. Apparently Cary was on ''A Christmas Carol'', tony was on 3 episodes of 24 and the movie Ondine,and Sebastian was on What We Do is Secret and also on 24 for 2 episodes. I just got this stuff by clicking on their names,you can check how reliable it all is. Between this and the Logo,you may just have something new to post about. Excited about the new logo!

I recommend just flipping the official one in Photoshop. Sorry Tom but your logo, while a good (really) tribute is a bit off. I recommend just flipping the official one in Photoshop.

However, the movie logo is already here (can you already tell I'm excited for this movie ;) ? Yes the logo is here and it's absolutely class. It's vintage looking and completely falls in line with those comments about "Timeless Europe" we heard earlier. I have to say, I really love how it places the emphasis on Tintin's name and almost seems to scream in bold red letters. I am really excited for what Spielberg cooks up for us.
