A Red Band trailer is out for director Greg Mottola's (Superbad, Adventureland) new sci-fi comedy, Paul, which debuted on Valentine's Day in the U.K. and opens in the U.S. in three weeks. Paul was written by and stars Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, the comedy duo behind Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz, and follows two British comic book nerds who come to America to attend the San Diego Comic-Con and end up picking up an alien hitchhiker named Paul (voiced by Seth Rogen) who has spent the past 60-plus years since the Roswell incident advising our government at Area 51, all the while picking up many of our nasty habits, such as drinking, smoking pot, and cursing a blue streak.

A new preview clip from director Greg Mottola's (Superbad, Adventureland) upcoming sci-fi comedy, Paul, has been released via British online newspaper The Guardian and it includes an introduction by the writers and stars of the movie, Simon Pegg and Nick Frost. The movie follows a couple of British comic book nerds (Pegg & Frost, naturally) who venture to America to attend the San Diego Comic-Con. After the convention, the pair drive their RV into the desert to see the infamous Area 51 military base and end up giving a ride to an extraterrestrial named Paul (voiced by Seth Rogen) who has been living in captivity on the base since the '40s.

One of the greatest comedy imports from Britain since Monty Python has to be the pairing of Simon Pegg and Nick Frost. Whether bashing in the skulls of zombies in Shaun of the Dead or busting up a seemingly benign neighborhood watch program in Hot Fuzz, it's the obvious real-life bromance between Frost and Pegg that makes their performances so hilarious. Now, the duo have teamed up—as both writers and lead actors— to help an alien (voiced by Seth Rogen) return home in Paul, a new comedy directed by Greg Mottola (Superbad, Adventureland) that pokes fun at everything from sci-fi movies and comic book conventions to good ol' Americana herself.
In this new featurette, which includes some never-before-seen footage from the movie, Frost and Pegg discuss the "alien road-trip fiasco" concept at the heart of the movie and how being "foreign in America" was a lot of fun during the real-life RV road-trip the pair took while writing the movie.

There's been plenty of foreign promotion for the upcoming comedy Paul, which follows Simon Pegg and Nick Frost (previously partnered in Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz) as two (appropriately) British sci-fi geeks who are touring around America in a RV to see Area 51 where they meet an actual alien named Paul (voiced by Seth Rogen). So far, there's been an international teaser trailer, followed by a full-length international trailer. Even an Italian poster has been released.
The reason for this is simple: Paul opens in the U.K. a full month before it opens in the U.S. However, at long last, a domestic trailer has finally been released, and includes footage previously unseen in the other trailers.

Publicity materials for the upcoming comedy Paul are slowly trickling out. The official synopsis was finally released in July, and the international teaser trailer only just released in October. The movie — about two British, sci-fi geeks traveling across America who cross paths with an actual extraterrestrial — was written by and stars Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, who have teamed up previously in Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz.
With a March 18, 2011, release date looming, new promotional materials are making their way online, including a new domestic teaser poster, as well as a full-length international trailer, which gives a more detailed look into the character of Paul (voiced by Seth Rogen).

Audiences got their first look at the upcoming comedy Paul when the international trailer debuted in October, and, a month later, more promotional items have made their way online. Empire recently released a couple photos from the the movie, which follows Simon Pegg and Nick Frost as two sci-fi geeks on a road trip of America who encounter an alien named Paul (voiced by Seth Rogen).
The first photo shows Pegg hiding from an FBI agent (Bill Hader), while the other photo shows most of the cast (Pegg, Frost, Kristen Wiig, and Blythe Danner) and Paul under, presumably, the lights of a spacecraft. While it's clear that Paul looks like an extraterrestrial, Frost revealed that the intention is for audiences to disregard his appearance.

Simon Pegg and Nick Frost have taken on zombie and action movies with Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz, respectively, but the duo are going sci-fi with their upcoming comedy, Paul. The comedy sees Pegg and Frost as two British comic book geeks who travel across America and discover an alien named, appropriately, Paul (voiced by Seth Rogen), near Area 51. Pegg told Collider that he and Frost, who both wrote the movie, came up with the idea while working on Shaun of the Dead.

The plot of the upcoming Paul hasn't exactly been an Inception-like mystery. The comedy stars Simon Pegg and Nick Frost as two British comic book geeks who drive cross country and encounter an alien near Area 51. However, while it's not exactly a movie that requires an official synopsis, news on the movie has been rather thin so far this year, so we'll take it.
