Craig lands role in Tintin movie

The British actor Daniel Craig, best known for playing James Bond, is going to play the villain (Red Rackman) in the next Tintin movie, Secret of the Unicorn, directed by Steven Spielberg. Jamie Bell, who played Billy Elliot, is going to play Tintin.
Steven Moffat was woking on the movie script, but he had to leave it to replace Russell T Davies as producer and lead writer of Doctor Who. He blamed US' writers' strike for delaying his work.
Tintin was created in 1929 by Herge (Georges Remi). Over 200 million copies of his two dozen books have been sold out, and his series has been translated into 70 languages.
This movie, the first of two or three films, is planned to be released in 2011. Peter Jackson, the co-producer, is going to direct the sequel.
