Rogen is Simon’s ‘Paul’

Rogen's screaming with happiness being 'Paul'

Seth Rogen, Kristen Wiig, Jason Bateman & Jane Lynch have all added themselves onto the cast of the upcoming movie, Paul. Paul is a story about two science-fiction fanatics on a road trip whose conspiracy dreams come true when they trek to Area 51 and encounter the title character, an escaped alien. Simon Pegg and Nick Frost both wrapped their heads together and penned the script and will both be co-starring in the film. This will be the first time the two will star side by side ever since their latest duo hit, Hot Fuzz.

Seth Rogen will do the voice of the escaped alien Paul with filming beginning at the start of next month. Greg Mottola, director of Adventureland and Superbad, is in the director’s chair once again for this flick. Underneath the supervision of Working Title Films, Universal Pictures & Big Talk Productions, the film will be set for a TBA 2010 release.
