Teaser Trailer: Paul, starring Simon Pegg and Nick Frost

The long awaited first trailer for Paul, the latest Simon Pegg/Nick Frost team-up(Hot Fuzz, Shaun of the Dead) has finally been released courtesy of Universal Pictures. Directed by Greg Mottola(Adventureland, Superbad), the two star as two sci-fi geeks who go on a road trip through the heartland of America. Their journey takes a turn for the weird when they accidentally run into Paul(voiced by Seth Rogen), who takes them on a crazy journey throughout America, with the United States government in hot pursuit.

My first impression? They were trying a bit too hard to make Paul look like E.T.  Second: The film looks like Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, only instead of a chimp the guys have an alien hanging around.

Paul stars Pegg, Frost, Sigourney Weaver, Jason Bateman, Kristen Wiig, and more. It's due for release on March 18th, 2011.
