Simon Pegg and Nick Frost (Hot Fuzz, Shaun of the Dead) reunite for the comedy adventure Paul as two sci-fi geeks whose pilgrimage takes them to America’s UFO heartland. While there, they accidentally meet an alien who brings them on an insane road trip that alters their universe forever. For the past 60 years, an alien named Paul (voiced by Seth Rogen) has been hanging out at a top-secret military base. For reasons unknown, the space-traveling smart ass decides to escape the compound and hop on the first vehicle out of town – a rented RV containing Earthlings Graeme Willy (Pegg) and Clive Collings (Frost). Chased by federal agents and the fanatical father of a young woman that they accidentally kidnap, Graeme and Clive hatch a fumbling escape plan to return Paul to his mother ship. And as two nerds struggle to help, one little green man might just take his fellow outcasts from misfits to intergalactic heroes. Paul is directed by Superbad’s Greg Mottola, from a story by Pegg & Frost. Joining the comedy’s cast are Jason Bateman, Kristen Wiig, Bill Hader, Blythe Danner, Joe Lo Truglio, John Carroll Lynch, David Koechner and Sigourney Weaver.

Pro Tip: Title the thread with the title of what you’re referring to. It’s a bitch to find again otherwise.

I think this showed up in Random News at some point.

doh! sorry Pike :slight_smile:

No worries. You’re right in that it’s been fairly low profile.

#5

Been mentioned a few times on the cast too - BTW

#6

I am pretty excited for it, too.

Although, admittedly, not quite as excited as I am about Cowboys and Aliens.

Damn, those along with stuff like Thor and Pirates is starting to make 2011 sound awesome. I’ve never seen Simon Pegg in something and not loved him in it. Didn’t know Sigourney Weaver was going to be in this, seems she’s having a career revival.

Really had me going their for a second, now I feel extremely silly. Not the first time the light font has done that to me, i’ll confess.

Good one. I could totally see someone stumbling on the site and sticking around for a while without realizing there’s a cast, though.

We get people who’ve never seen BSG, after all.

I would love to see Paul with some of you folks at the meet up if it’s still in theaters (comes out some time in Feb so who knows)
