No way dude... just no way...
Lorenzo Lamas as Snowy by Lousy Mime	Sep 29th, 2003 08:57:17 AM
Rutger Hauer can be Tompson and Stalone can be Tomson.
David Twohy as Captain Haddock... oh wait, he's already played i by Primus	Sep 29th, 2003 09:08:18 AM

OK... by DocPazuzu	Sep 29th, 2003 10:00:54 AM
I'm laughing, but it's a very nervous, looking-over-my-shoulder kind of laugh. If this were true, it would indeed be the most horrid piece of casting in cinema history. I grew up with the Tintin graphic novels and they were a huge influence on me. I love them to death. There's only one viable movie Tintin today and that's Jude Law. Think about it.
Heavens to Betsy no! by Heleno	Sep 29th, 2003 10:17:59 AM
For a start, isn't Tintin regularly called a Boy Reporter? Indicating, you know, some measure of youth? Unless this is going to be Tintin: 20 years later, Van Damme falls at that hurdle. But that doesn't matter, cause he also falls at every other damn hurdle along the way. With the possible exception of the one which says, sotto voce, "might not be a bad plan if the actor liked Tintin or had something in common with him". Doc, I see where you're going with Jude Law, but I don't see it happening. I think we're looking at teen actor types, and probably some cat none of us boys and girls have ever heard of. Assuming this ever gets through development, which I am not going to put money on.
VanDamme - SpiderMan by teutoneer	Sep 29th, 2003 10:24:37 AM
They also said in 1995 : Cameron will cast Van Damme as Spider-Man in his Movie Version of the Comic.
Blistering barnacles! by DocPazuzu	Sep 29th, 2003 10:39:14 AM
Alas, Heleno, I think you're right -- both about the casting and the microscopic chance of this film ever seeing the light of day. Still, they have made Asterix movies....
Because he's Belgian? by Henry's Cat	Sep 29th, 2003 10:56:21 AM
What, is Van Damme going to be Hercule Poirit next? Also, if you follow that line, why has Sean Connery played an Irish cop (untouchables), a Rooshun submarine commander and best of all an Egyptian (highlander) always with the same bleeding accent? And don't get me started on John Tuturro and Anthony Quinn who can play mexican / greek /egyptian so well. I don't know what I'm saying, time for my medication.... PS I finally saw "dark city", great film! I just also wanted to say that my favourite bit of AICN is not the reviews (interesting though they are), it's the slagging that Harry, Moriarty and Quint et al get all the time, don't give 'em an inch!
Just read the Van Damme boards... by Daveydje	Sep 29th, 2003 11:06:23 AM
I mean... A bunch of fanatical Van Damme fans have GOT to be right! Right? Have a read of a few of the msgs on the boards... Those people disturb me. For one thing, they seem to come from some sort of parallel universe where Van Damme was 'at the top'. ;o)
Jude Law for Tintin by Christopher3	Sep 29th, 2003 11:14:47 AM
I mean, look at his hair in "A.I."
This would be worth it if only to see Van Damme with orange hair by Fred	Sep 29th, 2003 11:55:22 AM

I don't get the "zen chickens" thing by fabfunk	Sep 29th, 2003 11:58:58 AM
Do I need to see THIRTEEN to get it? Knowing the plot, I don't see how "zen chickens" figure into it. Then again, if the zen chicken is played by Keira Knightley, then the banner is fine by me. Ah, Keira Knightley- making bestiality cool again.
Van Damme, as a German Shepherd?! It would never work. by Mosquito March	Sep 29th, 2003 03:43:46 PM

You silly man! by Wingnut1A	Sep 29th, 2003 05:08:40 PM
Good one Mosquito =) I think this movie belongs on the same list as that Kevin Costner musical about Castro.
Wow! Glad a read the link cuz I thought TinTin was a dog! by Lost Skeleton	Sep 29th, 2003 05:11:15 PM
The Revolution will not be televised but it will be in theaters November 5th!
Jude Law as Tintin. Billy Connolly as Captain Haddock by Cash Bailey	Sep 30th, 2003 04:31:05 AM
Jim Broadbent as both Thompson and Thomson. God knows hwo they'd get for Calculus.
According to the same Boulevard Magazine, Elvis is now managing by Elliott Ness	Sep 30th, 2003 04:49:18 AM
You can't deny it whipes excellently, though.
Real Tintin Casting by KJ Ream	Sep 30th, 2003 09:52:31 AM
Carrying on here... Jude Law as Tintin Billy Connelly as Captain Haddock Jim Broadbent as Thompson and Thomson and now... Gary Oldman as Professor Calculus
Van Damme would rock as Gambit by rodrigo santoro	Sep 30th, 2003 10:48:34 AM
I don
I don't mean to be presumptuous, but by WeedyMcSmokey	Sep 30th, 2003 04:12:56 PM
Shouldn't a TInTin movie be in French? It has a certain Europena sense that may be lost in ou big tits, big guns, small penises Noth american universe. People have to know their limits.
Cash Bailey by DocPazuzu	Sep 30th, 2003 04:13:57 PM
Unfortunately he's dead, but Michael Jeter would have been a good Calculus.
No more! by XiaoLi	Oct 1st, 2003 07:04:31 AM
Spielberg better stay away from Tintin, after he ruined two potentially great movies in AI and Minority Report. Please Hollywood, no more ass-raping what was once good and pure!
Yeah, this is BS, but is it any more ridiculous than the rumours by Shanghai Nicky	Oct 1st, 2003 08:31:52 AM
....Christophe(r) Lambert would play Tintin?
the end is nigh by silent_light	Oct 2nd, 2003 01:58:23 AM
Will Smith in I'Robot,that that awful cat woman costume (Toyah Wilcox meets alt.binaries.bondage), snow white kung fu (why not a Disney porno) and now this .....the only possible worse scenario would be if Mel Gibson had done a redneck Jesus movie with product placement and a tag line "he kicked arab ass and died a kickin'".
Thompson and Thompson are the sexiest tomboy beanpoles on the Da by Arcadian Del Sol	Oct 2nd, 2003 12:57:57 PM

Tintin casting by Cory849	Oct 2nd, 2003 12:59:11 PM
Gary Coleman as Tintin. Kate Beckinsale as Captain Haddock. and Shaquille O'Neil as Tintin's mangy dog. That is all. C.
Tintin by dogman	Oct 7th, 2003 10:30:33 AM
Jeunet to direct Dicaprio as Tintin (trust me - I despise Titanic. Love Tintin - good far outweighs the bad. Captain Haddock - Robert De Niro Calculus - Geoffery Rush Thompson Twins - Hoskins on slim shakes Snowy - ?? Two films - seven Crystal Balls followed by Temple of the Sun... If this lands on anyones lap - it would absolutely rule on the screen!! Big Andean back drops etc...
