Shaun Of The Dead stars Simon Pegg and Nick Frost have landed starring roles in Steven Spielberg's big screen adaptation of the classic Tintin comics.
The funnymen, who also appeared together in the 2007 comedy Hot Fuzz, have been cast as clumsy detective pair Thomson and Thompson in the film, slated for release in 2010.
But Spielberg faces the challenge of making Pegg and Frost resemble one another - as their characters were depicted as identical twins in the children's adventure series.
