Their output to date includes the zombie comedy Shaun of the Dead and the action comedy Hot Fuzz. Here Simon Pegg and Nick Frost are pictured arriving at the world premiere of their latest film Paul with co-star Sigourney Weaver last night.

In the film, which goes on general release on Valentine's Day, the pair encounter the title character, an alien voiced by Seth Rogen who has escaped from a secret military base, and embark on a mission to return him to his mothership, chased all the way by Federal Agents.

The film is directed by Superbad creator Greg Mottola and stars Jason Bateman, Kristen Wiig, Bill Hader, Blythe Danner and Joe Lo Truglio as well as Alien star Ms Weaver.
