Simon Pegg Drops 'Bastards', Reunites with Nick Frost for 'Paul'

Well, we have some good news and some bad news to report during this glorious summer weekend. Which do you want first? Since I always pick the bad news first, we'll go with that: Apparently, Quentin Tarantino is having some trouble getting some of his potential Inglorious Bastards cast members to sign on the dotted line. Not only has David Krumholtz dropped out (and replaced by Samm Levine from Freaks and Geeks, so says AICN), but unfortunately the same has happened with Simon Pegg.

Over on his MySpace page, Pegg has told fans that he will no longer be co-starring in the Tarantino WWII flick, but will instead (and here's the good news) reunite with Nick Frost for a film called Paul (first reported wayyy back in September of 2007). This time, however, Edgar Wright will not be behind the camera, as Pegg said Superbad's Greg Mottola has taken over directing duties. Paul will follow two comic book geeks (Pegg and Frost) on some sort of road trip across America. No word yet on who'll be replacing Pegg in Bastards, though I can name more than a few Brits who'd do a bang-up job.

    Aww, I would have loved to see Pegg in a Tarantino film. Like peanut butter cups, I imagine. Two great flavors that taste better together.

    Still, good to know that he and Frost will be working togther -- but no Wright? Still a bit upsetting.

    That's great news. Simon Pegg is talentless and would have ruined what could be ANOTHER Tarantino masterpiece

    Good news to me, i don't want to see Pegg working with a hack like QT.
