Simon Pegg & Nick Frost Recreate Star Wars

News Friday, March 18 by Captain
Simon Pegg and Nick Frost will be in Australia at the beginning of April for the release of their extraterrestrial comedy-adventure Paul.

The British duo, who you undoubtedly know from Hot Fuzz and Shaun of the Undead, and maybe even Spaced, play a pair of Sci Fi geeks who encounter a wise-cracking alien named ‘Paul’ while on a road trip, will hit the red carpet on Thursday April 7th for the Australian Premiere of Paul at Hoyts Melbourne Central.

Pegg and Frost will then head to the Melbourne Royal Showgrounds on Saturday April 9th for the Supanova Pop Culture Expo where they will entertain fans with a special Q&A session followed by autograph signings.

For fans who can't make it to Melbourne, we'll be doing our best to have a chat with the duo and get you some footage with the coolest geeks on the planet.

To give you some idea of the awesomeness that is the Frost/Pegg Geektrain, here's a video just posted at College Humour, that has them recreating a legendary moment from the original Star Wars movie.






Paul releases in Australia on April 14, and stars Jason Bateman, Kristen Wiig, Sigourney Weaver, Blythe Danner and Seth Rogen as the voice of Paul the alien.
