Simon Pegg and Nick Frost reunite on the big screen this weekend for their new comedy Paul. Like they’re previous works, Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz, which poked fun at the horror and action genre, Paul places the focus on science fiction. It’s a comedic take on what would happen if you mixed the movie Alien with Fanboys. Check out our review…
Paul director Greg Mottola was joined by his cast including Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, Bill Hader, Jeffrey Tambor, Joe Lo Truglio, Seth Rogen and Sigourney Weaver at the film’s official Comic-Con panel. They gave an exclusive sneak peek at the film, and revealed to the audience their favorite Comic-Con moment. Lucky for you we recorded it! Watch their answers below…
It’s been a while since we’ve heard anything about Greg Mottola’s alien road trip comedy Paul. Last year there were a few updates here and there but nothing solid and 2010 has been pretty dry in the news department. That was until the official plot synopsis for the movie was released from Working Title Films via the folks over at Joblo. Check it out…
The mastermind behind Superbad brings us another amazing, real- life, hilarious, 80′s theme park film, Adventureland. There is no doubt about it, writer/director Greg Mottola knows his comedy and after hanging out with him for 20 minutes you get why. He’s passionate about film and he puts everything he has into it, without taking himself too seriously. Plus, he’s also insanely funny. He’s got a wicked sense of humor and is not afraid to call out an interviewer on a stupid question – I love that.
Adventureland has been a project long time coming. For over seven years, Mottola was trying to get the film off the ground, but just when he was starting to get somewhere with it, this guy named Judd Apatow came up to him and asked him if he’d like to make Superbad. After he finished that little epic comedy, he decided to take his success and finally get his film off the ground and luckily for us, he was able to.
Check out what Mottola has to say about working in a Apatow world, creating the characters in his films, and his upcoming project Paul with Simon Pegg and Nick Frost…
Superbad director Greg Mottola introduces a trailer for his new film Adventureland. Co-starring Kristen Stewart (AKA The girl from Twilight), Ryan Reynolds, Bill Hader, Kristen Wiig and Martin Star the film is based off a rich kid who is forced to get a job at an Amusement Park. The film is set in 1987, because let’s face it, the 80′s were awesome. With plenty of awkward teenage coming of age jokes (still can’t get that “dance/grind” scene from Superbad out of my head no matter how hard I try) and a sweet little love story to boot, looks like Mottolaay may have made another awesome teen comedy for all ages.
Check out the trailer below…
