New movie from "Shaun of the Dead" guys is "a road movie about two British geeks in America"
http://www.iwatchstuff.com/2007/09/simon_pegg_nick_frost_trading.php



If you've seen Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz, you know that pretty much anything Simon Pegg and Nick Frost do is handed down from whatever the British version of "God" is. So imagine my joy in finding out Paul, a project that will see the two as geeks on a road trip in America, with Pegg taking on the more subservient role usually reserved for Frost.

While the details were few and far between from Pegg, he did reveal the title and a little of the plot. “It’s called ‘Paul’ and it’s a road movie about two British geeks in America.” Pegg added that the film will be shot here in the States.

So will we see a similar dynamic between Simon and Nick as depicted in “Shaun” and Hot Fuzz”? Pegg laughed said, “No, it’s different actually. I’m the bitch in this one. This time Simon’s the bitch!”

2. I'm sure whatever Simon Pegg does will be awesome...
but this kinda has shades of "Borat". It'll still be worth watching though!

3. They're a great comedy duo.
You really don't see comedy duos as often as you used to. It's a bit of a lost art.

7. I'm glad to hear that they're still busy... But didn't they just advertise
"Run, Fatboy, Run" during Hot Fuzz screenings? Oh well, the more the better.
