There hasn't been much heard about Simon Pegg's new film, Paul, about two British slackers (Pegg and Shaun co-star Nick Frost) who, after visiting Comic-Con, go on a road trip to Area 51 and discover a diminutive alien named Paul (voiced by Seth Rogen), but Pegg recently offered a forum update on his own site:



"Hi all,

Thought you might like to hear how things are going on the Paul front. It's been a while since we wrapped now and with the absence of Lance B's video blogs, I guess things must seem to have gone very quiet. Rest assured the good (space)ship Paul is progressing apace. Our venerable and brilliant director Greg Mottola [Superbad, Adventureland)], is currently ensconced in an edit suite in NYC with Oscar winning editor, Chris Dickens (Slumdog Millionaire ... and Spaced, Shaun and Fuzz), putting together the first pre f/x cut. The next phase of the process will see Greg and Chris continue to hone and cut the movie and will of course entail the complex process of bringing Paul himself to life, combining the efforts of ace f/x wizards, Double Negative and further work with The Green Hornet himself, Mr. Seth Rogen. Rest assured all is going well and we're all very excited. More news of a kind as we encounter it.

Simon"


Paul also stars Bill Hader, Sigourney Weaver, Jason Bateman, Blythe Danner and Jane Lynch. The film is expected to open in the U.K. in 2010, with wider distribution to follow.

ANIL @ KI$$ it lol!!! : D

He'd be an amazing ANT-MAN!! Of course ANT-MAN II, an if PIXAR does do a solo movie, it'll be light humor, PEGGS perfect for ANTS 2!!!



Though i have seen the light an see PATRICK WILSON as ANT-MAN I (Hank Pym). ; D

Shaun of the Dead was class, didn;t like Hot Fuzz that much it was ok but not great, Run FatBoy Run is good, and this looks good, by the "The Boat that Rocked" is going under the name "Pirate Radio" In the U.S for some reason ????

I JUST DON'T GET WOWED WITH ANT MAN AS OPPOSED TO GIANT MAN-"OOOH ITS A NEAR MICROSCOPIC GUY..WITH AN ANT COSTUME...HE RIDES AND CONTROLS...ANTS...UMM..".....GIANTMAN, "HULK IF YOU DON'T BEHAVE, IM GONNA SQUISH YA"

LEEE777 - 11/7/2009, 5:17 PM
GUN @ There isn't gonna be a GIANT MAN movie just a ANT-MAN one...

As for AVENGERS, HANK may be GIANT MAN in it, i [frick]ing hope he's just in AVENGERS, don't care as what, HANK & JAN need to be founding members of the team. It's a must!
