Comedy veteran gives "Paul" details


So we all are expecting great comedic performances in the uncoming movie Paul due to the sheer mass of comedy veterans in the film.  The movie is about two British sci-fi geeks played by Simon Pegg and Nick Frost (Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz) who go America to experience the UFO culture and stumble across a deserted alien (Seth Rogan in CGI) in Area 51 who they help get back to his ship and they meet a bunch of crazy, hilarious characters.  The characters include Sigourney Weaver, Jason Bateman, Kristen Wiig, Bill Hader, and more.

Superbad's Greg Mottola is directing the film as Simon Pegg and Nick Frost are producing and watching over their baby.  

There was talk over whether Jane Lynch would be in the flim, since she has brought laughter to so many in film like Role Models, 4o Year Old Virgin but MTV Movie Blogs caught up with her and got more information regarding her role in the film.  

"In Paul, I am in one scene, but it's a pretty cool one", Lynch explained to MTV, "I run this little restaurant called the 'Ailey Inn.  It's an alien themed diner and of course they're geeks." She laughed.  "Nick Frost and Simon Pegg have just come from Comic-Con and they're reading their cartoon books.  They're so into this stuff, the alien stuff.  Seth Rogan plays the voice of the alien, and there's a lot of great people in the movie."

The recently wrapped film is due to be in theaters next year.    I'm excited... Seth's suit for the CGI is hilarious... I'm sure he feels the same.
