Tintin Time.



I am a big Tintin fan, and the names attached to the upcoming film tick many many boxes. Stephen Spielberg, Pegg & Frost, Toby Jones, Jamie Bell, Stephen Moffat, Cary Elwes, Peter Jackson, Tony Curran, Edgar Wright, Joe Cornish, Daniel Craig, John Williams - these are all good people who do good things.

But, there's a thing, a little thing, but a thing. You know how the Richard Lester The Three Musketeers adaptation was almost perfect, but could have been improved by lifting Tim Curry's Cardinal Richelieu from the otherwise terrible Disney version, in place of Charlton Heston's awful performance? Well, I have a hunch that the new Tintin flick could only be improved by the addition of a certain much loved theme tune.

Like this (made by a very clever chap named James Curran.)
