Official Synopsis

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.

What We Learned: It’s very nice seeing Simon Pegg and Nick Frost on the big screen doing big comedy again. The alien design for Paul is HIDEOUS. Seriously, we’re afraid to take a nap after seeing that guy/being. And giving Paul Seth Rogen’s voice only made him more frightening. We’re about to down the nearest bottle of lite beer after seeing that.

Why We’ll Watch: Finally. Finally , after a year and a half of waiting, PAUL is going to be released.

When’s it coming?
March 2011 in the USA.
February 2011 for the UK. (Hey, British friends, you mind putting us up for a weekend?)

Tuesday Tease: What is PAUL?

PAUL is a cross country nerd-infused road trip with aliens. Two of these aliens are British in nature(Simon Pegg and Nick Frost). The third alien is from outer space.

What is PAUL? is the official production blog for Pegg and Frost written cross-country comedy vehicle. Above we’ve provided the Flickr slide show from Frost’s July pictures.

Sources close to us inform that the PAUL script is most satisfying on multiple levels. You’d better get used to us talking PAUL because it’s gonna be our focus in the weeks and months to come til it hits the silver screen.

Tuesday Tease: EXTRACT has Nuts…er…

These days you can’t swing a dead cat without hitting a movie starring Jason Bateman. In many of those cases, Bateman is the best thing about said movie. EXTRACT features Mike Judge returning to office comedy. That’s what all the other movie sites are boasting. If the trailer is any indication, we think it’s Judge’s return to making funny movies.

Why do we think this movie will work where recent Judge projects have not?

EXTRACT: Jason Bateman plays a flower-extract plant owner who sees his life crumbling around him.

It’s the simplicity of it, you see.

Watch the trailer under the cut.
