During three magical days at Comic-Con last week, I had many fascinating conversations, from Guillermo del Toro discussing his love for The Haunted Mansion and the challenge of H.P. Lovecraft adaptations, to Mark Wahlberg making a colorful case for his thespian credentials. But if I had to choose a favorite, I think I’d go with the cast of Paul, the sci-fi comedy written by and starring Shawn of the Dead‘s Simon Pegg and Nick Frost (pictured), about a couple of British über-geeks who start a tour of U.S. UFO hot spots at San Diego Comic-Con (natch), only to encounter an actual extra-terrestrial named Paul (and voiced by Seth Rogen). It wasn’t one thing that really made these interviews so fun, really, as much as the sum total: Pegg and Frost discussing their writing process together and what it was like working with Steven Spielberg on The Adventures of Tintin; and director Greg Mottola (Superbad) with co-stars Sigourney Weaver, Jeffrey Tambor, Bill Hader, and Joe Lo Truglio talking about everything from double rainbows to orgasms, the power of Comic-Con to the glory of Sigourney Weaver.
Check out the four-part interview after the jump, and you’ll (hopefully) see what I mean.
The movie is out next March, and if it's as much easygoing fun as these interviews, I am so there. Are you, PopWatchers?
This sounds like a great project (can’t beat the cast), but the only thing I could think of while watching that video is how Sigourney Weaver just keeps getting hotter.
Sigourney Weaver rocks my world.
this is the only type of role seth rogan is good at, voice overs.
Spot on Silverrose. I do not care for Seth at all, but Simon and Nick? I’ll see them in almost anything and I’ll be looking forward to next March.
Same here, TBFan – and I love how in the pic it looks like Nick and Simon are sharing some best bud snuggles. ROFL
I LOVE Simon & Nick, I’ve been anxiously awaiting their next movie. Only thing that would make this better was if Edgar Wright was involved, but still the movie sounds pretty good.
So funny and ModelFriendFinder was very good
