Hi, everyone. "Moriarty" here with some Rumblings From The Lab...

Okay, this is just retarded. Harry sent me this, and I can only assume he was sitting at his desk, laughing, trying to picture me as I read this. Van Damme? As freakin’ TinTin? That’s the stupidest rumor I’ve heard since the guy who asked me if it was true Harry is directing a film next year. Who sits around making this shit up?!

Hi folks, Stauffen here!

Ok, this sounds kinky but it seems to be true.

Check out what I found at the official Van Damme-Board RIGHT HERE!!:

According to Boulevard Magazine, in a interview with Steven Spielberg, he says he met Van Damme in August, and it´s absolutely official... Van Damme will play the role of TIN TIN, he´ll get a U$ 9 million paycheck for it. Gwyneth Paltrow signed too, and maybe Jim Carrey can join to the cast. Spielberg said he choose Van Damme because he´s belgium as the carachter, and because he proved be a tin tin fan before everything !! And he says, Van Damme improve a lot as an actor.

Cheers from Vienna...

No offense to the guy who sent us the e-mail, since his English is a little shaky and his enthusiasm seems genuine, but somebody’s pulling somebody’s leg. I don’t know what BOULEVARD magazine is, but I doubt Spielberg would decide to announce the casting of the lead role in a film he’s been trying to make since 1983 there and nowhere else. Especially since there’s no TINTIN movie being made at the moment. It’s just a development project at this point. You can read a good story about the background on TINTIN at the following link:

The idea does have a certain morbid horrible appeal though, doesn’t it? Can you imagine a Van Damme TINTIN? Would that be the worst film ever made, or would it just feel like it when your eyes started bleeding and your brain exploded?

"Moriarty" out.
