Simon Pegg Dishes About Paul
Posted by Rodneyon 23. 05. 2008in News Chat
Simon Pegg has informed the world that his next project will be called “Paul” and that it will be a road movie with comic book nerds as the protagonists. We get the following saucy scoop from our good friends over at cinematical:
Simon Pegg is, like nearly everyone else in the film industry, over in Cannes promoting a new film. While doing the rounds for How to Lose Friends and Alienate People, Pegg revealed his next project to IGN. “I just finished a script with my writing partner Nick Frost, and that is called Paul, and we’re going to shoot it later this year or early next year. It’s a road movie set in America about two British comic book geeks that get into an adventure across America.
Road movies are good times; especially when you have a hilarious lot like this to work with. As a man that appreciates all things geek, I welcome this tale of kindred spirits on the open highway. If they are taking requests – I hear the Alamo has a bitchin’ basement.

sounds good…i wonder if pegg is interested in doing a movie for the comic “the boys”?
“We don’t have many details to gab about, but this writing team has only brought us gold thus far; I think it’s a safe bet to expect more of the same.”
So, what has “this writing team” brought us? You’re thinking of Pegg and Wright. Pegg and Frost haven’t written anything together until this.
You are correct Scoville, thank you for pointing out that mistake!
