Paul : Simon Pegg & Nick Frost Interview

By Sean Lynch

Cult comedy icons Simon Pegg and Nick Frost - best known for Hot Fuzz and Shaun of the Dead - reunite for the sci fi comedy adventure Paul.

The comedy follows Pegg and Frost as two sci-fi geeks whose pilgrimage takes them to Comic Con and across America's UFO heartland, where by pure chance, they encounter a wisecracking alien (Seth Rogen).

You see, for the past 60 years, the alien named Paul has been hanging out at a top-secret military base. When he discovers he's been taken prisoner, the space-traveling smart ass decides to escape the compound and hop on the first vehicle out of town-a rented RV containing Earthlings Graeme Willy (Pegg) and Clive Gollings (Frost). 

Chased by federal agents (Jason Bateman) and the fanatical father of a young woman (Kristen Wiig) that they accidentally kidnap, Graeme and Clive hatch a fumbling escape plan to return Paul to his mother ship. 

And as two nerds struggle to help, one little green man might just take his fellow outcasts from misfits to intergalactic heroes...

Web Wombat Movies' Sean Lynch caught up with the stars of the film on their recent trip to Melbourne to talk weird UFO followers, nerds and Lego Videogames.

Paul is in Australian cinemas from April 14th, 2011
