LRE #53: Paul

Little Red Envelope In my mailbox this week: Paul Release Year: 2011 Staring: Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, Seth Rogen, Jason Bateman Traveling the western United States, after just finishing up Comic-Con, two Brits happen upon a stranded alien who is trying desperately to get home.  

WPR at the movies: Paul

Paul has big shoes to fill. It’s the first time we’ve seen Simon Pegg and Nick Frost together in a film without Edgar Wright in the director’s seat and it’s a statement as to whether the two can still make a good film without him. Turns out they can, but Wright’s influence is missed nonetheless.  

Paul – Trailer #2

We’ve shown you an early trailer for this movie, but now there’s an official full-length trailer that shows us Paul being the next best thing to making a Roger the Alien movie (you know, the gray from American Dad).  

Paul – Trailer

What do you get when you take the guys from Hot Fuzz and Shawn of the Dead, throw them into a movie where they meet up with a real life Roger from American Dad (voiced by Seth Rogen), and have them try to run away from the a Federal agent played by Jason Bateman? You end up with…Paul.
