Paul is an alien from outer space who likes to moon people, use his invisibility powers to show up randomly naked, and laugh just like Seth Rogen. There’s a new trailer for the film out today, and even though it says nothing about the exact quest the alien and his new spaced-out friends (played by Simon Pegg and Nick Frost) are going on, it’s still a shiny example of some solid comedy. Plus, there’s at least three major science fiction film references just in the trailer alone.

Like a shooting star sent from the heavens above the first teaser for Greg Mottola’s latest film, Paul has finally arrived. The film reunites Simon Pegg and Nick Frost for the first time outside of their work with Edgar Wright in a story about two buddies on a Winnebago road trip across the United States. Their travels through Area 51 bring them in close contact with an alien named Paul, and soon the adventure is on as they’re forced to evade the feds, entertain the ladies, and have a good time at Comic-Con! The film co-stars Jason Bateman, Kristen Wiig, Jane Lynch, Sigourney Weaver, Bill Hader, Blythe Danner, Jeffrey Tambor, Joe Lo Truglio, and the smooth vocal-stylings of Seth Rogen as the title alien. Check out the teaser below.

Greg Mottola (Superbad, Adventureland, and the upcoming Paul) has been hired to adapt Leanne Shapton’s eclectically-titled book, “Important Artifacts And Personal Property From The Collection Of Lenore Doolan And Harold Morris, Including Books, Street Fashion And Jewelry,” into a film for Brad Pitt and Natalie Portman. The title will probably be shortened before it hits theaters…

Best comedy cast of 2010? Let’s see… Bateman, Frost, Hader, Lynch, Pegg, Rogen, Wiig…and possibly you if you’re wandering around Comic-Con.

Remember that other film that Kristen Stewart is in? You don’t? Then it’s a good thing we’re looking past Twilight to catch a glimpse of Greg Mottola’s Adventureland.
