Variety has reported that Nick Frost, star of movies like Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, Paul, and Attack the Block, has been cast in the final dwarf role in Universal Pictures’ Snow White and the Huntsman.

| First Teaser Trailer For Steven Spielberg’s ‘The Adventures Of Tintin’
We’ve heard a lot about the planned trilogy of performance capture Tintin movies being shared between director/producers Steven Spielberg and Peter Jackson over the past year or so, and now we finally have a teaser trailer for the first of those three movies, The Adventures of Tintin. With Jackson now directing the two-part adaptation of The Hobbit, it doesn’t look like he’ll be doing anything more than producing on the Tintin movies, leaving room for someone else to step in and take the job. But for now, the Spielberg-directed first installment looks like a lot of fun. You can check out the teaser trailer for The Adventures of Tintin by continuing below now!

| Must Watch: Simon Pegg & Nick Frost Re-Create ‘Star Wars’
It’s hard to argue a better pair of actors who often collaborate with one another than Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz co-stars Simon Pegg and Nick Frost. Their chemistry and the natural comedy that’s born from their back and forth banter is pure fried gold. While on the set of their new movie, Paul, the duo decided to re-create George Lucas’s famed Star Wars saga using the same techniques seen in the movie Be Kind Rewind. The results, however, may not have been quite what they were hoping for. You can see the video of Simon Pegg and Nick Frost re-creating Star Wars by continuing on below now!

| ‘From OuterSpaced’: The UK Review Of ‘Paul’ |
 |
Paul
Directed by Greg Mottola
Starring Simon Pegg (Graeme Willy), Nick Frost (Clive Gollings), Seth Rogen (Paul – Voice), Kristen Wiig (Ruth Buggs), Jason Bateman (Agent Zoil), Jane Lynch (Pat Stevenson), Bill Hader (Haggard)
UK release February 14, 2011
U.S. release March 18, 2011
PROBING INVESTIGATION When considering writing a review for you, my American/worldwide cohorts, for the UK release of Paul, a whole month in advance of the U.S. screening, I had a problem. Every other bloody magazine/media has reviewed it… (and with reference to the current Empire mag, who I won’t plagiarize but I will say this: RESEARCH! Their article on Captain America1 was not as informed as my article. I was there man, you don’t know, I got the pictures man, 5 months before!!) …and stole the best/cheesiest headlines: ‘Alien Nation’, ‘E.T. Rider’, and “˜Close Encounters of the NERD Kind’. Bastards. I spent long arduous seconds creating ‘From OuterSpaced’, but that’s the kind of genius I am. I’m also an insider. Not a crew member of said film, no, I’m that type of Geek that knows enough about UFOs to be an expert. But that’s my bias, especially during the 1990s when you couldn’t avoid the stuff. And so in the course of this article, I scraped together the remnants of my vast DVD collection, including Spaced (see what I did there!?) Shaun of the Dead/Hot Fuzz boxset (£5 – Bargain) and purchased the Simon Pegg autobiography Nerd Do Well to look for clues that would lead to Paul.
