Sapristiits still unclear who he's going to play, but the feeling seems to be that everybody would be surprised if it wasn't Captain Haddock.It’s entirely possible that he’d play any and all of the characters if it’s possible for Peter Jackson to play Tintin!
Remember, Andy Serkis was both Gollum and Smeagel in
The Lord of the Rings trilogy, and King Kong as well as the live-action ship’s cook in PJ’s
KK remake, so you don’t have to look the part to play it really. Thanks for the heads-up on the article, by the way!
JeevesIMDB has someone listed as in the film called Christian Mayburuh who looks like a likely candidate.If you mean
Kirsten Myburgh, it
doesn’t seem to be listed in his own biog on IMDB at the moment. He has been mentioned for the part several times in the past, as least as far back as 2004 (a search of the forums will find his name mentioned a few times). Given that his own website has pics of him posing in plus-fours and blue jumper, that perhaps he is an actor with ambitions of playing Tintin, and who may be soliciting for the part, rather than someone the studio was considering themselves. He also looks a might old for the part, if looks actually mattered in the case of a CGI movie…
