"Tintin" Casting Call: "Secret Of The Unicorn"?..
Los Angeles casting is currently underway for the upcoming Peter Jackson/Steven Spielberg "Tintin" feature film, reportedly "Tintin: Secret Of The Unicorn", based on the comic strip stories by Belgian author/artist Herge.Writer Steven "Jekyll" Moffat is writing the screenplay, from the "Tintin" comic strip adventures translated into more than 50 languages with over two hundred million books sold.
The stories feature young reporter 'Tintin' involved in international crime intrigues, travelling the world and to the moon, accompanied by his loyal dog 'Snowy', drunken friend 'Captain Haddock', deaf 'Professor Cuthbert Calculus' and the bumbling twin detectives 'Thomson' and 'Thompson'.
Films will be made using 3-D performance capture, with Spielberg's DreamWorks studio committing to produce at least one film, according to Nick Rodwell, Herge Studios.
The first film "The Secret Of The Unicorn" leads into "Red Rackham's Treasure".
Originally published as a series in "Le Soir" (June 1942 - January 1943), "The Secret of the Unicorn", focuses on the investigation and discovery of treasure ship 'The Unicorn' and its pirate connection to Captain Haddock.
Rodwell says the first "Tintin" movie will be ready in 2009.
Here is a casting breakdown:
'Aristides Silk' (British, 60s), a seemingly friendly British or international pickpocket with a memorable face who is balding and has a mustache;
'Allen' & 'Ernie' (British working class, 30s-40s), two seamen smugglers disguised as workmen;
'Barnaby' (American, 35-50), a fat and sweaty Interpol inspector who's better at his job than he looks;
'Lt. Delacourt' (British, 30s-40s), the amiable, pipe-smoking commander of the Afghar outpost who helps 'Tintin' and 'Captain Haddock';
'Max' & 'Gerontium Bird' (British, 40s), these brothers' businessman-like appearance bely the fact that they're gun smugglers on the 'Karaboudjan';
'Merrydew' (British, 30s), an envious reporter rival of Tintin's;
'Mr. Crabtree' (British working class, 50s-60s), a stall keeper/vendor at the 'Old Street Market';
'Mrs. Finch' (British, 50s), Tintin's landlady with a fierce, beaky face and personality to match;
'Nestor' (British, 40s-60s), a kindly, efficient butler who works for the 'Bird' brothers and finds himself in troubled circumstances;
'Omar Ben Salaad' (40s-50s, International), a larger-than-life arms dealer with 14 wives and a commanding voice;
'Pilot' and 'Co-pilot' (international, 30s-40s) of Omar Ben Salaad's seaplane;
'Red Rackham' (British, 40s-60s), described as tall and thin, larger than life with a sinister edge;
'Sakharine' (30s-60s, International), a tall, thin and mysterious stranger with a foreign accent that can't be placed;
'Ahmed' (20s-40s, International), an obedient soldier under Lt. Delacourt's command;
'Wetherbuck' (40s-50s, British), Tintin's big, bellowing, cigar-chomping editor and mentor;
'Thomson' & 'Thompson' (British, 35-50s), two ineffective, narrow-minded policemen described as more stupid than mean, moronic yet pretentious, comical and clumsy. They are identical and can only be distinguished by their mustaches...

DC Comics character "The Flash", will spin-off from director George "Mad Max" Miller's upcoming "Justice League" movie.
The new film will be directed by David "Wedding Crashers" Dobkin.
According to Dobkin, character 'Wally West', nephew of 'Barry Allen', aka the 1950's 'Flash', will be the focus of the new film. West was a mechanic for the 'Keystone City' police, debuting as 'Kid Flash' in 'Flash' #110, Dec 1959-Jan 1960 and as the adult Flash in 'Crisis on Infinite Earths' #12, March 1986.
West received his accelerating powers after being soaked with chemicals that had been struck by lightning.
In 1990, "The Flash" TV series was created by Danny Bilson and Paul DeMeo, airing Thursday nights on CBS, with a cast including John Wesley Shipp as 'Flash', Amanda Pays as 'Christina McGee' and Richard Belzer as reporter 'Joe Kline'.
Stories featured the Flash battling drug lords and robot assassins, introducing 1950’s 'Central City' crimefighter 'Nightshade' (Jason Bernard) and the 'Ghost' (Anthony Starke).
Other notable TV villains included 'Captain Cold' (Michael Champion), 'Mirror Master' (David Cassidy) and the 'Trickster', played by Mark "Luke Skywalker" Hamill...
