Sangster Drops Out Of Tintin?

Variety Magazine has stated that Thomas Sangster will not be playing Tintin. Sangster was widely rumoured to have been cast but it was never formally announced. The source of the problem seems to be the delays caused by Dreamwork’s split from Paramount and subsequent funding difficulties. This news appears in passing in a report by columnist Anne Thompson but no sources are given and no one else is reporting this.

More positively, Dreamworks has a distribution deal with Universal in place and Paramount are still keen to fund the films if Spielberg and Jackson cut there fees.
