New DVD Releases: Paul, Your Highness, Jumping the Broom

Andrew Payne — Tue, 09 Aug 2011 18:25:59 +0000

It’s a bit of a nerd Nirvana on DVD this week as three different sci-fi/fantasy/comic book parodies all arrive at once with the releases of Paul, Your Highness, and Super. So get your condescending laughs ready.

For those not looking for the geek-parody genre in order to fulfill their home entertainment desire, there are even more feature films hitting shelves this week, plus another that suffered the sad fate of having its premiere in stores.

Check it all out below…

Feature Films

Paul

What do you do when your favorites misstep?

If you’re like me, you love you some Nick Frost and Simon Pegg comedies.

Also, if you’re like me, Paul was kind of a chore to sit through. Uneven, too long, and tried to do too many things at once.

So what do you do? Do you completely lose faith? Does the duo’s next film no long hold for you the same appeal it once did? In other words, have we just suffered an Intolerable Cruelty/The Ladykillers-like reaction to these other two cinematic brothers?

It’s troubling, because once you lock into a reliable film constant you begin to plan your movie year around it. Circling your calendar and suffering through horrible runs of Source Codes and Adjustment Bureaus more readily knowing that something that has to be good is coming right up.

But then, it doesn’t, and you’re left betrayed and unable to ever fully trust again. What is a fan to do?

I know! You blame the fact that Edgar Wright didn’t direct this one and you move on. Hope you chaps will reunite soon!

But if you need something to tide you over, you can buy Paul on DVD.

Your Highness

It seemed that a lot of the animus toward this movie was chiefly directed at two of its three stars.

James Franco: Crappy Oscar host, does too much, overexposed.

Natalie Portman: Too many movies, No Strings Attached – really?, I like Mila Kunis better.

Yes, this film was sort of a catalyst for sealed anger to explode on these two actors, but one got by unscathed – Danny McBride.

And I’m fascinated by that. Can Danny McBride do know wrong? Does having about three moves as an actor (which he does transcendently well, mind you) right all wrongs. Does it make becoming a K-Swiss spokesman and the co-star of Land of the Lost not even matter?

I’m totally confused. I need help:

Note: There is a poll embedded within this post, please visit the site to participate in this post's poll.

If you answered “yes”, you’ll want to buy Your Highness on DVD.

Weekend Box Office: Bradley Cooper’s Limitless Takes Him to the Top

Laura Aguirre — Mon, 21 Mar 2011 16:04:58 +0000

Yes, $19 million is a modest amount when we’re speaking Box Office terms, but this weekend $19 million was enough to make Bradley Cooper‘s Limitless No. 1. The Hangover star beat out Matthew McConaughey‘s The Lincoln Lawyer and Battle: Los Angeles (the war film didn’t do as well as we had predicted).

Also new this weekend was Universal’s Paul, which stars plenty of hilarious people like Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, Seth Rogen, Jason Bateman, and Kristen Wiig (the list goes on). Despite falling at No. 5, the sci-fi comedy was neck and neck all weekend long with The Lincoln Lawyer and just barely lost out by a couple of thousand.

Check out the numbers below…

Limitless | NEW | Relativity | Weekend Gross $19,000,000 | Average Per Theater $6,894 | Total Gross $19,000,000 | Film’s Budget – $27 | Week 1

Hall Pass | Last Week #7 | Warner Brothers | Weekend Gross $2,600,000 | Average Per Theater $1,365 | Total Gross $39,590,000 | Film’s Budget – $36 | Week 4

In the first time in months, the top ten list is free of The King’s Speech. Ladies and gentlemen, on it’s 17th week, the Oscar winning film is no longer part of the top ten. That was one long streak.

Paul: Movie Review

Krystal Clark — Fri, 18 Mar 2011 01:20:52 +0000

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…

The Players:

Director: Greg Mottola
Screenwriters: Simon Pegg and Nick Frost
Cast: Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, Seth Rogen, Kristen Wiig, Jason Bateman, Bill Hader, Joe Lo Truglio, Sigourney Weaver, Jeffrey Tambor, Jane Lynch, Blythe Danner, John Carroll Lynch
Cinematography By: Lawrence Sher
Original Music By: David Arnold

The Plot:

Clive and Graeme are two sci-fi enthusiasts who travel from the U.K. to the U.S. to attend San Diego Comic-Con. After the convention wraps they take a road trip across the Southwest, where they visit several famous UFO landmarks including Area 51. During one of their stops they meet Paul, an alien who’s on the run from the government. He enlists the help of Clive and Graeme, who dodge FBI agents, red necks, and Bible thumpers to get him where he needs to be.

The Good:

Simon Pegg/Nick Frost: The chemistry between these two is undeniable. They’re naturally funny apart, so when they’re together comedy ensues. If you’re a fan of their previous collaborations, you won’t be disappointed with their performances in Paul.
Paul: Paul is a pleasant surprise. At first glance, he comes across as a rude, slimy, untrustworthy creature but he’s actually a heartwarming character that you learn to love as the movie progresses.
The Big Guy: Sigourney Weaver plays the main villain, who’s affectionately called The Big Guy. Her casting in this role is pure genius considering her longstanding battle with aliens for the majority of her career. There’s only a choice few actresses who can pull off masculine characters believably and she’s one of them!

The Bad:

Throwaway Characters: There are more than a few oddballs who interfere with Paul, Clive, and Graeme’s journey including a couple of agents in training, some hillbillies, and a religious zealot. All of them are one dimensional characters who serve no purpose to the story. They could have scrapped them and given more screen time to those who mattered.
Agent Zoil: I love Jason Bateman, therefore it hurts me to say this: Agent Zoil dropped the ball. The majority of the film, Zoil is the straight man against all the other goofball characters, a role that Bateman is used to pulling off (Arrested Development anyone?) but his character wasn’t fun, witty, or interesting. Anyone could have played Zoil. It didn’t have to be Bateman. His talent was wasted here.

Overall:

Paul is a road trip movie that pokes fun at the sci-fi genre and the fan boy culture. It’s campy and comedic fun.

Rating: 7.5/10

Paul opens in theaters everywhere on March 11th.

Will you be seeing Paul this weekend?

Interview: Simon Pegg Talks Paul, Spaced, and Cougar Town

Krystal Clark — Wed, 16 Mar 2011 21:30:48 +0000

This weekend, frequent collaborators Simon Pegg and Nick Frost will once again grace the big screen together. The duo have previously appeared in the hits Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz, and now they’re taking the sci-fi genre by storm with Paul. I recently had the opportunity to speak with Pegg about his latest feature and we discussed everything under the sun: aliens, Comic-Con, “Spaced,” and even “Cougar Town!” It was an interesting and fun conversation to say the least!

Check out the interview below…

Before we get into anything Paul related, I have to ask you one thing: did you see the “Cougar Town” homage to “Spaced?”

Simon Pegg: Yes, I did. I thought it was very funny.

Did you like the fact that they directly said ‘I love Spaced’ at the end of it?

SP: I thought it was sweet because by saying that they were acknowledging the fact that they were basically doing what we’ve already done [laughs]. It’s a smart way of making a reference and at the same time being able to do the same thing again, which I’ve based my entire career on. I’m fine with that. I thought it was lovely because the vast majority of people watching that show would never have seen “Spaced” and they’re like. ‘What did he say? I love space? What does that mean?’ It was a lovely nod. It’s amazing for us. We made a little comedy for no money back in the late-nineties in Britain that we never thought would get seen outside of the U.K. Then for it to be paid homage to in a huge American TV show it’s a real privilege. I consider it somewhat of an honor.

For those of you who haven’t seen the Cougar Town “Spaced” homage, here it is:

Now that that’s out of the way, what made you and Nick want to make a sci-fi film? Do you guys have a thing for campy, genre projects?

SP: We don’t ever approach it like we’re checking genre boxes. We like to make the kind of films that we like to see. We made Shaun of the Dead because we wanted to make a zombie film not because we wanted to say anything about horror. I mean, Hot Fuzz perhaps was more of a parody than anything we’ve done because it sent up the notion of the action film by putting it in a different context. Paul is a sci-fi film, it isn’t a comment on sci-fi.

Why did you guys name the alien Paul and where did this story come from?

SP: When we were making Shaun of the Dead, it was raining a lot and we thought ‘Oh, why can’t we make a film somewhere where it’s always hot?’ And then we thought over by the desert, and then the desert became Area 51, and that became aliens and we thought how are we going to put ourselves into that? So we’d have to be a couple of British tourists who’d captured an alien and the alien’s name was Paul. The joke was that he had this ordinary name. We never changed it. The idea became that he crash landed on a dog who’s name was Paul. If we properly thought about it longer, we probably would have gone with Rex or Fido. I mean, Paul just stuck.

How did you go about casting the voice of the character?

SP: That was a gradual process because initially we wanted an older actor to play the part because we wanted Paul to sound very worldly-wise, and sort of gravelly. Like an old guy really. His species only lived to about 300 earth years and he was probably about 100, and he’d been on earth for 60 of those years. We figured we should get somebody like Rip Torn or Kurt Russell, you know someone who’s been around the block.

Why was Seth Rogen chosen?

SP: We were slightly worried about that because it would go against what we had intended for the character and then Seth’s name came up. And Nick and I were both like, ‘Wait a minute. That’s perfect!’ He’s a known figure for his comedy work but he also has this wonderfully gravelly voice. We knew Seth through mutual admiration. He liked our stuff, we liked his stuff, and he was the only actor who really fit the bill for us and thank God he said yes.

How did The Big Guy become a woman?

SP: Initially when we wrote the character it was a man, and for the longest time during the writing process it was this gruff male voice. And then one day in our office we sort of said, ‘What if his voice was a woman?’ Immediately we thought, ‘Oh my God, what if it was Sigourney Weaver?’ Because she does have a thematic relevance to the genre. It’s like there’s another joke there. Her very presence in another alien movie is funny because of her connection to that particular series of movies.

We never thought she’d do it. I thought she’d be like, ‘No, no more aliens, please!’ But we sent her the script and she loved it. We never thought for a second that she’d even entertain the idea. And then she came on set and we understood because she’s such a team player and she gets the jokes. She’s a fantastic person. We were just in awe of her. It was like the queen was coming on set and we were all bowing and curtsying.

The two main characters, Clive and Graeme are sci-fi/fantasy fanatics. Would it have been funnier if they were non-believers?

SP: We thought the funniest people to meet an alien would be people that really love aliens, because they’d have to live up to the expectations and their dreams. The joke is that for Clive it doesn’t really.

Are the characters based on any of the fanboys you’ve encountered?

SP: Yes, definitely. We’ve met so many people like that. We’re kind of those people in some respects. There’s a wonderful culture of enthusiasts who are essentially shy people with big loves for things. People who find their heart and soul in fantasy perhaps because they don’t live it on a day to day bases. A lot of the people that enjoy our stuff have been a part of this sort of geek tribe because we’ve done science fiction, horror, and what have you. Those genres tend to attract those kinds of people.

Last year I met J.J. Abrams at Comic-Con and my mind went blank…

SP: I was the same way with Carrie Fisher. I lined up to meet her at Comic Con. You get to spend seconds with them and that’s the time you’re given to imprint yourself upon these people that you love. It’s hard because you’re immediately on the backfoot. You know they’re not going to remember you in five minutes let alone a year. You just have to kind of understand that and go with it.

Paul opens in theaters everywhere on March 18th.

New Trailer for Paul: More Swearing and Ball Jokes!

Mali Elfman — Thu, 24 Feb 2011 01:43:18 +0000

The genius behind Superbad, director Greg Mottola has teamed up with Simon Pegg and Nick Frost for another comedic adventure, this time featuring an alien named Paul, voiced by none other than Seth Rogen. Yeah, it’s basically the pick of the comedian crop in Paul, with the supporting characters being played by none other than Jason Bateman, Kristen Wiig, Bill Hader, Blythe Danner, Joe Lo Truglio, John Carroll Lynch, David Koechner and Sigourney Weaver. It will be a travesty if this bad boy isn’t funny.

Though the trailers have been rather mild until now, IGN has just posted a new trailer for the film with a bit more bit…

Trailer:

I’m game! Who doesn’t love a serious Bateman, some good ball humor and a naked/offensive alien??

Official Synopsis:

For the past 60 years, an alien named Paul (Seth Rogen) has been hanging out at a top-secret military base. For reasons unknown, the space-traveling smart ass decides to escape the compound and hop on the first vehicle out of town—a rented RV containing Earthlings Graeme Willy (Pegg) and Clive Gollings (Frost).

Chased by federal agents and the fanatical father of a young woman that they accidentally kidnap, Graeme and Clive hatch a fumbling escape plan to return Paul to his mother ship. And as two nerds struggle to help, one little green man might just take his fellow outcasts from misfits to intergalactic heroes.

Paul hits theaters March 18, 2011.

New Domestic Trailer for Paul

Krystal Clark — Thu, 06 Jan 2011 20:24:43 +0000

The first domestic trailer for Greg Mottola’s Paul has been released. The video debuted over on Apple and it features Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, and the scraggly voice of Seth Rogen as the title character. The movie takes two British sci-fi geeks on an American journey that puts them on the run alongside an alien. Interesting concept? Check out the trailer below…

This trailer actually makes Paul seem like a fun traveling buddy. He’s like ET but more abrasive and gross. We’re not sure if that’s a good thing, but somehow he makes it work. Even though Sigourney Weaver stars in the film, they only feature her voice in the trailer. We wonder if they’ll keep her hidden for the majority of the movie too?

Official Synopsis:

Simon Pegg and Nick Frost (Hot Fuzz, Shaun of the Dead) reunite for the comedy adventure Paul as two sci-fi geeks whose pilgrimage takes them to America’s UFO heartland. While there, they accidentally meet an alien who brings them on an insane road trip that alters their universe forever.

International Trailer for Paul with Simon Pegg and Nick Frost

Krystal Clark — Fri, 17 Dec 2010 16:41:32 +0000

Yesterday we posted the first teaser poster for Greg Mottola’s upcoming comedy Paul. Today we’ve got our hands on the international trailer for the film that centers on aliens, government conspiracies, and Comic-Con. Because when stuff hits the fan Comic-Con is usually at the center of it all. Check out the new trailer…

This trailer features more of Jason Bateman’s character, which we’re all for. He plays a tough as nails FBI Agent named Lorenzo Zoil. Get it? Lorenzo Zoil? Think about it for a minute. We’ll wait.

New Paul Teaser Poster

Krystal Clark — Fri, 17 Dec 2010 00:37:44 +0000

The first teaser poster has been released for Greg Mottola’s upcoming comedy Paul. The film features Seth Rogen as the title character (in voice only) and frequent collaborators Simon Pegg and Nick Frost as his unsuspecting allies. Over on Collider, they posted the new Paul one sheet that seems to be inspired from another movie’s marketing campaign. Can you guess which one? Take a look…

Does this remind you of a lighter, brighter version of The Social Network posters? Remember the one that featured Jesse Eisenberg with all the adjectives written across his face like genius, nerd, billionaire? Here we have fugitive, celebrity, slacker, joker, and alien, all words that none of us would want to be associated with.

New Photos from Simon Pegg, Nick Frost Comedy Paul

Krystal Clark — Tue, 09 Nov 2010 00:33:09 +0000

If you’re a fanboy, Nick Frost and Simon Pegg’s latest film was made specifically for you. The comedy duo have reunited for the Comic-Con inspired road trip movie Paul, which centers on an alien who falls into the laps of two unsuspecting sci-fi geeks on their way to the annual comic convention. Over on Empire, they’ve premiere two new photos from the film, one of which features co-star and “Saturday Night Live” regular Bill Hader. Take a look…

We have to be honest, the photo of Bill Hader looks really bad ass. He’s attempting to channel his inner FBI agent, by being as stone faced as possible. It looks like someone’s been taking a few notes from Hugo Weaving in The Matrix.

Paul opens in theaters on March 18, 2011.

Simon Pegg and Nick Frost in Paul Teaser Trailer

Krystal Clark — Mon, 18 Oct 2010 16:12:14 +0000

MSN just got first dibs on the new international teaser trailer for the Greg Mottola project, Paul. The film is a geek-based comedy that stars frequent collaborators Simon Pegg and Nick Frost along with Jane Lynch, Sigourney Weaver, Jason Bateman, and Seth Rogen – sort of. The reason Rogen is put in the “sort of” category is because his voice is featured in the film but not his body. He plays the title character of Paul, an alien brought to life by CGI animation. Take a look at the new trailer…

Having seen an extended trailer at Comic-Con, we can tell you right now that this teaser doesn’t do the film justice. It doesn’t tell you what’s going on. You don’t know who Jason Bateman is, you don’t get the premise, it’s just flashes of people and action. We’re all for not revealing too much of the plot but they could have given us more than just a quip at the end to let people know how funny the movie really is. Boo.

Comic-Con 2010 Video: Cast of Paul Favorite Comic-Con Moment

Krystal Clark — Mon, 26 Jul 2010 17:36:08 +0000

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…

The reason this moment is so epic is because Paul takes place at Comic-Con (the majority of it anyway). The characters played by Pegg and Frost are certified geeks and they take a cross country trip to the annual event, which leads them to finding their new alien friend. Unfortunately, we found out a lot of the footage filmed for the movie was recreated at another location because the Comic-Con folks wouldn’t let them film during the actual event. Boo!!!

Anyway, one of the fans who was in attendance at the Paul panel asked the cast what they’re favorite Comic-Con moment has been so far and this is how they answered.

There you have it!

What do you think of the cast of Paul and their favorite Comic-Con moments? Were you in attendance at this year’s panel?

Official Plot Synopsis for Greg Mottola’s Paul

Krystal Clark — Fri, 09 Jul 2010 21:30:22 +0000

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…

Official Synopsis:

Simon Pegg and Nick Frost (Hot Fuzz, Shaun of the Dead) reunite for the comedy adventure Paul as two sci-fi geeks whose pilgrimage takes them to America’s UFO heartland. While there, they accidentally meet an alien who brings them on an insane road trip that alters their universe forever.

For the past 60 years, an alien named Paul (voiced by Seth Rogen) has been hanging out at a top-secret military base. For reasons unknown, the space-traveling smart ass decides to escape the compound and hop on the first vehicle out of town—a rented RV containing Earthlings Graeme Willy (Pegg) and Clive Collings (Frost).

Chased by federal agents and the fanatical father of a young woman that they accidentally kidnap, Graeme and Clive hatch a fumbling escape plan to return Paul to his mother ship. And as two nerds struggle to help, one little green man might just take his fellow outcasts from misfits to intergalactic heroes.

The film’s story comes from Pegg and Frost who co-star alongside Jason Bateman, Kristen Wiig, Bill Hader, Blythe Danner, Joe Lo Truglio, John Carroll Lynch, David Koechner and Sigourney Weaver.

Paul is scheduled to hit theaters in the UK this year but no release has been set for the US just yet. With all this talent we’re surprised they haven’t marketed this film better.
