To explain why this fills me with joy:1) I grew up with Tintin. I love Tintin.
2) Two of my favorite characters are Thomson and Thompson. I can picture every panel of them in Destination Moon and Explorers on the Moon.
3) With all his faults, I still really love Spielberg. No, he doesn't push the envelope often but he is a master at telling a story visually.
4) I very much respect Peter Jackson. If there is a master of motion capture it is him.
5) Simon Pegg and Nick Frost are a brilliant team.
So Pegg and Frost as Thomson and Thompson makes me pee may pants a bit.
