Rupert Grint To Play Tintin In the Upcoming Tintin Movie

The upcoming Tintin movie has led to may rumors. The facts we do know
is that Steven Spielberg and Peter Jackson are to direct two of the
three films that will make up the Tintin trilogy.

The first Tintin movie is due to be finished in production by the end
of 2009 and rumors abound about who will play the famous Belgian boy
detective. There have been many people linked to the film in the past
but the latest story is that Rupert Grint of Harry Potter fame will
get the nod for the Tintin role.

Rupert Grint seems like an obvious choice. Rupert Grint first came to
international attention as Ron Weasley the friend of Harry Potter the
world famous young wizard created by J. K. Rowling in her very
successful series of books that were then made into very successful
films.

The first book Harry and the Philosopher’s Stone (Harry and the
Sorcerer’s Stone in the USA) was a worldwide success. When made into
a film in 2001 it stars of all it young main characters.

Rupert Grint as Harry’s friend was a lovable character who was more
that a bit clumsy which many young fans could associate with. He soon
became a well known star and with his shock of red hair was easily
recognizable.

This red hair makes him an obvious choice for the film as the Tintin
character has the distinctive red hair too. The choice of a already
much loved star in Grint with either Peter Jackson or Spielberg
directing would help sell the film better in America where Tintin is
still not the most recognizable cartoon character.

Tintin was introduced to the world only a few months before Mickey
Mouse so was never really captured in the imagination of the American
public who favoured their own plucky mouse rather than some European
inspired boy detective.

Tintin still proves very popular worldwide however and if Rupert
Grint were to play the role he would find himself as the star of one
of the biggest films of the 2009. Rupert Grint can also be found in
the films Thunderpants and Driving Lessons. If you want to leran more

Interesting-not a bad choice at all and certainly a great way to escape from being typecast as Ron forever....


Best wishes,
