Simon Pegg has issued an update on what is happening with is upcoming film Paul over on the forums of www.peggster.net. Here is what he had to say:

“Hi all,

Thought you might like to hear how things are going on the Paul front. It’s been a while since we wrapped now and with the absence of Lance B’s video blogs, I guess things must seem to have gone very quiet. Rest assured the good (space)ship Paul is progressing apace. Our venerable and brilliant director Greg Mottola, is currently ensconced in an edit suite in NYC with Oscar winning editor, Chris Dickens (Slumdog Millionaire … and Spaced, Shaun and Fuzz), putting together the first pre f/x cut. The next phase of the process will see Greg and Chris continue to hone and cut the movie and will of course entail the complex process of bringing Paul himself to life, combining the efforts of ace f/x wizards, Double Negative and further work with The Green Hornet himself, Mr. Seth Rogen. Rest assured all is going well and we’re all very excited. More news of a kind as we encounter it.

Simon”
