Seems the rumors are true that Simon Pegg and Nick Frost are indeed going to play Thomson and Thompson in the big Hollywood version of Belgian comic Tintin. We had lost faith in Pegg after seeing his starring role in the utterly miserable Run Fatboy Run. But then we received our copies of the Brit sitcom Spaced where he got his start. Now we're sure it's all David Schwimmer's fault that Pegg totally blew as the titular fatboy. If you haven't seen Spaced yet, it's a quirky comedy that played on BBC's Channel 4 for two seasons (1999-2001) and stars Pegg as a geeky comic book fanboy. He has bleached blond hair and his sidekicks are equally bizarre. Maybe he can make this seems-to-be-doomed Tintin into something worth checking out.
