While tons of great behind-the-scenes material have already been posted on the official production blog for Paul, Universal sure took its sweet time to release the first official still from the US comedy starring Simon Pegg and Nickt Frost. This one has been put up on a building in the Universal Studios in Hollywood.

Leading man Nick Frost announced via twitter that the official production blog whatispaul.com for “his” comedy Paul went live this afternoon. It was available for a short time after the announcement but now there’s only a “Service unavailable.” message without any Nick, Simon or Paul…
It’s working now…wheeee!

Rich Johnson from Bleeding Cool has posted his very positive impressions on the screenplay draft of Nick Frost and Simon Pegg’s US alien comedy Paul. I’m especially happy about this part as it sums up almost everything I love about the stories of Spaced, Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz: “This script is chock full of gags, bursting at the seams. Comedy of repetition, plenty of pull-back-and-reveals and overflowing pop cultural references…”.
He also shows us a small excerpt from the script that tells us a bit about the look of the main characters Graham and Clive.

Additionally, a pretty detailed synopsis for the film has popped up on the IMDb boards. I can’t say if this is anything official but stay clear of the grey area below if you don’t want to spoil yourself.

SPOILER
PAUL is the story of Graham Willy (Simon Pegg) and Clive Gollings (Nick Frost), two sci-fi enthusiasts from the UK. The film follows them on a once in a lifetime trip to America, starting with a visit to San Diego Comic Con. Having enjoyed the delights of the convention, the boys set off on a trip to Area 51 for a spot of light UFO tourism.However, their trip takes a sudden and dramatic turn when the boys happen upon a crashed government vehicle containing an Alien called Paul (to be voiced by Seth Rogen). They embark upon an adventure, which sees them accidentally kidnapping a young Christian girl (Kristen Wiig) and paying a surprise visit to an old woman called Tara, who 60 years before pulled a stricken Paul from his crashed ship.Together, this mismatched band struggle to help Paul get home, all the while trying desperately to stay ahead of the tenacious government operative, Agent Lorenzo Zoil (Jason Bateman) and Ruth’s zealous, shot- gun toting, bible bashing father, Moses Behe. This is a comedy about being an alien in America, even if you’re not from outer space.

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.
