My favorite things to watch include Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, and a British TV show called Spaced (the latter of which, if you haven’t seen it, is available to watch for free on Hulu and is fantastic).

What do all three of these have in common? They all star Simon Pegg and Nick Frost. Imagine my excitement when the first trailer for their new movie Paul was released.

Watch it here below!

Paul follows two friends from England as they come to America for a comic book convention. After the convention they explore Area 51 where they find an alien named Paul, voiced by Seth Rogen. Also staring in the film is Kristin Wiig , Sigourney Weaver, Bill Hader, Jane Lynch, and Jason Bateman.

I am super excited for this movie, as I love just about everything the two of them have done. Add to that the rest of this ridiculously talented cast and this movie cannot come out soon enough! It is, however, to be released on March 18, 2011.

You can check out our previous coverage of Paul from this summer’s San Diego Comic-Con (the same Con the guys attend in the film!): SDCC 2010: “˜Paul’ Panel With Simon Pegg, Nick Frost & Seth Rogen (With Video).
