Film Junk Weekend Wrap-Up: Simon Pegg and Nick Frost in Tintin, Harry Potter is PG, Jonah Hex Director
So the new year is off to a pretty slow start, but still, we can’t let a week go by without some good ol’ comic book casting rumours to get the blood pumping! While Iron Man 2 just might be picking up on the success of The Wrestler, Simon Pegg and his buddy Nick Frost have added some fanboy appeal to Peter Jackson and Steven Spielberg’s Tintin. A smattering of new trailers found their way online, including one for the remake of Wes Craven’s The Last House on the Left. The other big news story of the week is the announcement that the new Harry Potter film will be rated PG. Wait, I thought they were going for a hard “R”? Now I’m definitely not interested!
