Despite assuaging my original fears about the Shaun of the Dead/Hot Fuzz duo doing a movie without Edgar Frost (who is busy doing Scott Pilgrim), by hiring Superbad’s Greg Mattolla to helm the flick, I have to admit, the premise of “two British nerds go to comic-con” sounded a bit half baked.

Man, oh man, was I wrong.  As now…they leave comic-con…and go to AREA 51!  Where they meet the titular alien, Paul.

Sure, the idea sounds a bit clunky, but considering how well they handled combining romantic comedy and horror, and British mystery films with John Woo action, I think Pegg and Frost are the perfect team to make the bastard child of Mallrats and Mac ‘n Me.

Don’t let me down, gang!
