Details Revealed: Simon Pegg and Nick Frost’s Road Trip comedy Paul

Posted on Wednesday, November 12th, 2008 by Peter Sciretta

Want some more details about Simon Pegg and Nick Frost’s next comedy? Paul will follow the two British geeks, who after visiting Comic-Con, go on a road trip to Area 51 where they encounter a small alien named Paul, who enlists them to help him find his way home. Written by Pegg and Frost, and directed by Greg Mottola (Adventureland, Superbad).

To recap: A sci-fi road trip comedy, Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, Greg Mottola, an Alien, Comic Con, Area 51?! I don’t know about you guys, but I think this sounds like a winner. Filmmaker Edgar Wright is busy on Scott Pilgrim, which explains why he’s not involved as a director. Mottola is a self professed fan of Nick and Simon’s films so far, and loved the concept. Wright will executive produce. Paul will start shooting in March 2009.

    win.
  • Jackie/B
    This guys are genius!!!! If they put what they have put in all of there other movies, this should be great. Shaun of the Dead still on of the best.
  • Captain Awesome
    Can't wait. I love these guys :)
  • Dr. Lizardo
    This sounds like it could be one of the most ridiculous / greatest movies ever made.
  • Meli
    This movie should be a ton of fun.
  • danno
    Hopefully they get their hands on some proper fire-power this time.
  • Jimmy Mac
    No film can match the genius that is Spaced though.
  • Ant
    Not sure they should be putting their next projects into the hands of anyone except Edgar Wright. I thought they had 3 films planned with him.
    But Edgar looks pretty busy well into 2010
    I just think Hot fuzz and Shaun are down to the 3 of them and losing one would take some of that shine away.
  • Eric R.
    I love these guys, I'm down for whatever they put out there.
  • I can only second Mcgruff's succinct post.

    Win.
  • I swear, Pegg, Frost, and Wright (despite him not being involved in this project) are some of the last hopes of any real creativity in the cinematic world.
    Super psyched. I will be there opening day, for sure.
  • Wait, Edgar is involved. Ah, apologies. I was too excited and didn't even read the whole thing! Still, pure fried gold.
  • If I remember correctly, the roles are reversed so as not to confuse this with their other works.
  • slash101
    @ Ant,
    This is not part of the Blood and Ice Cream Trilogy, which consists of Shaun Of The Dead, Hot Fuzz and the next one being The World Ends, which I believe will be done by Edgar Wright.
  • Rory

  • the last bampf
