Superbad director will go sci-fi with Simon Pegg

Simon Pegg in SHAUN OF THE DEADIn an article about the career trajectory of SUPERBAD-director Greg Mottola, who currently has ADVENTURELAND about to be released, it is revealed that his next effort will be PAUL, a science-fiction comedy starring Simon Pegg (SHAUN OF THE DEAD). Says Mottola:

“In it two sci-fi nerds go on a road trip from the San Diego Comic Con to Area 51. They’re from the UK, and this is their idea of the ideal American vacation. They meet an alien along the way. It’s like Easy Rider or Five Easy Pieces with an alien.”
