Paul Theatrical Trailer

The theatrical trailer for Paul is here courtesy of Yahoo! UK. There's no embed file, so you'll have to check it out over there.

I'll admit the initial teaser was enjoyable, and there's no denying the great talent involved – director Greg Mottola and starring Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, Kristen Wiig, Jason Bateman, Bill Hader and the voice of Seth Rogen, among others.

This new trailer is OK. I suppose.

My gut instinct is the Internet will once again over-blow expectations to 11. This feels like a "For Nerds Only" kinda movie. Not a bad thing to be, but the general public is going to have to show some interest or else, and I don't get the impression they will. Cut to: the loud cries of fans crying, "WHAT HAPPENED!?!" if the sci-fi comedy bombs next year.

Basically, a repeat of what we just went through with Kick-Ass and Scott Pilgrim.
