I don't know if you guys heard, but apparently Andy Serkis, who provided performance capture for Gollum in 'The Lord of the Rings'and King Kong might be playing Haddock in the upcoming CG film...

I don't know the vocie-qualities of Serkis but I sure hope he is capable of doing a bombastic voice. If he sound like Gollum it will be all wrong. A better choice in my opinion would have been John Rhys-Davies as his voice is definetely more Haddock-ish.

Serkis has many varied voices. He's not a one man voice. Haddock's in good hands.

This is one long running thread. :)

I am excited at the same time very afraid that hollywood will once again fail at depicting the characters and the spirit of the comics at heart. Like they do to every other book. :(

I like Andy Serkis but I don't like him as Haddock, does anyone else think that his voice is to high? I have a 14 year old sister whos voice is lower than his! Is this a problem for anyone else?

Antonio Banderas as General Alcazar? I agree with you, Jeeves, with reference to his physique. He looks a lot like him (see Tintin and the Picaros on the frame when Jolyon and Alcazar met in the jungle). But with the voice? I think the man who voiced for The Lion King's Banzai would do better. He's a comedian Latino.

Unless the Dreamworks would consider Banderas' voice acts in the Shrek series, maybe he could be picked up again to portray a new character a bit apart from being Puss in the boots.

tintinagalog:I don't know the person you are talking about but I think that Banderas' voice would be work for the part I also think he has the nessesary charisma to play a dictator,but that is just what I think.
