Holy smokes! Will we ever get tired of hearing or watching Seth Rogen?! That guy’s freakin’ everywhere. You would think that he’d take a long break to just chill and write his GREEN HORNET movie but nope, according to Variety, he’s signed on to do yet another voice work (Monsters Vs. Aliens, Kung Fu Panda, Spiderwick Chronicles, Horton Hears A Who). This time it’s for PAUL, a new comedy by the 2 Brit funnymen, Simon Pegg and Nick Frost (Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz). I got nothing against them and I hope they make movies together til they die.
The story is brilliant actually, I’m surprised no one’s thought of it before. Written by and starring none other than Pegg and Frost. It’s about 2 Brit sci-fi geeks on a road trip to a convention in U.S.A., their conspiracy dreams come true when they trek to Area 51 and encounter Paul, an escaped alien who will be voiced by Rogen.
Also cast in the movie are some more American funny people like Jason Bateman, Kristen Wiig, Jane Lynch, and Bill Hader.
The movie’s directed by director Greg Motolla. These guys are like best friends, they’ve worked together at one time or another.. . Hader and Rogen were in SUPERBAD which was directed by Motolla who previously cast Wiig in ADVENTURELAND. Bateman and Wiig are in the upcoming Mike Judge’s EXTRACT. Lynch was in 40 YEAR OLD VIRGIN with Rogen. Thanks to Rama’s SCREEN reader Jeremy for the heads up
Six degrees of Seth Rogen, anybody?
