The film will feature their adventures as they cross the continent in a beat-up Airstream, as the two "geeky" Brits deal with the enormity of the USA as they road trip across America.Nick Frost allegedly will be the lead, and Simon will play second banana.Pegg says the film is "a road movie about two British geeks in America".“I’m the bitch in this one. This time Simon’s the bitch!” Pegg said to MTVThe pair are polishing a first draft. No director has been attached yet.Pegg claimed that this film will not be a part of their usual collaboration with Edgar Wright. In an earlier interview, Simon said: ‘Nick and I are writing a movie called "Paul" which we'll be shooting in America next year. We both play adolescent types"Our parents' generation were encouraged to settle down and become adults a lot sooner, in their early 20s. Now we've suddenly got our whole 20s and even our 30s to arse around, and nobody is quite sure what to do with it, so all we do is regress back to when we were younger and find the things we enjoyed doing then."

Wow, this sounds very neat and definitely original. Films just seem to be edging away for originality these days but this one sounds like a breath of fresh air. And with this duo, I'm sure it will be nothing short of absolutely fantastic. I will be looking out for this, for sure.
