SmallHuge casting update on Paul, Simon Pegg and Nick Frost’s (what’s Busenkumpel in English?) US sci-fi comedy project.
Today, Frost announced on his massive hilarious Twitter account that the two British stars will be joined by Seth Rogen, Jason Bateman, Kristen Wiig, Bill Hader and Jane Lynch. Seth Rogen will lend his voice to the alien Paul who gets picked up by the two geeks Graham (Pegg) and Clive (Frost) during a trip across the States. Director Greg Mottola will start the shooting in June.
Nothing personal against Mr. Rogen, but isn’t it about damn time to do some US comedies without him? I think he was already miscasted in Zack & Miri (even though I can’t decide if somebody else could have saved that film) but somehow I just can’t imagine him “acting” together with Pegg & Frost.
