/Film have reportedly learned the character descriptions for the protagonists of Greg Mottola’s “Paul,” starring Simon Pegg and Nick Frost.
According to their sources, Pegg and Frost will respectively play Graham Willy and Clive Gollings. Willy is described as a “very greasy, lanky character with buck teeth,” he will have hair “down to his knees” and will wear “very thick glasses.” Gollings, meanwhile, will dress in a “long leather duster,” have “a stack of tightly curly hair” and wear a “standard issue sci-fi tie-in t-shirt.”
In regard to the character of Paul, the friendly alien will reportedly be “three foot tall,” have “standard-issue graylien almond eyes” and will be decked out in “cut off jeans and flip-flop shoes and nothing else.” Paul will also have the ability to turn invisible in manner similar to the “chameleonic technique” of Predator.
A special cameo from a “hugely famous film director” in a “key flashback” sequence was also unveiled but shouldn’t surprise so much. Pegg and Frost’s “Hot Fuzz” and “Shaun Of The Dead” featured cameos aplenty from the likes of Peter Jackson, Cate Blanchett and a plethora of British comedy stars such as David Walliams, Matt Lucas, Martin Freeman, Steve Coogan and Bill Bailey.
“Paul” is set to begin shooting in New Mexico on June 8th.
