Paul VIP Screening

Yesterday, February 8, saw a special gala screening for Paul at London's Prince Charles Theatre. There was a small catch to get into the event - you had to be called Paul (or variant thereof). As you can see in the images that Paramount so nicely supplied, Nick Frost and Simon Pegg both made a surprise appearance.

I have only put on a choice set of images from the event.  If you want to see more of the event then our friends over at Heyuguys have the full set.

Simon Pegg and Nick Frost (Hot Fuzz, Shaun of the Dead) reunite for the comedy adventure Paul as two sci-fi geeks whose pilgrimage takes them to America’s UFO heartland. While there, they accidentally meet an alien who brings them on an insane road trip that alters their universe forever.

For the past 60 years, an alien named Paul (voiced by Seth Rogen) has been hanging out at a top-secret military base. For reasons unknown, the space-traveling smart ass decides to escape the compound and hop on the first vehicle out of town—a rented RV containing Earthlings Graeme Willy (Pegg) and Clive Collings (Frost).

Chased by federal agents and the fanatical father of a young woman that they accidentally kidnap, Graeme and Clive hatch a fumbling escape plan to return Paul to his mother ship. And as two nerds struggle to help, one little green man might just take his fellow outcasts from misfits to intergalactic heroes.
