“Pegg also announced via his blog that Greg “Superbad” Mottola is to direct Paul, the planned road movie he and long-time cohort Nick Frost have written together. The pair will also star in the film, about a pair of Brits who journey across America. The decision to move the opening of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince to July next year from late November has left the editors of America’s Entertainment Weekly with dragon’s egg on their faces. The front cover of its latest issue and a six-page spread are dedicated to the forthcoming film, despite the fact that the magazine shares a parent company - Time Warner - with the studio behind the Potter films, Warner Bros. Dan Fellman, Warner Bros head of distribution, told the Associated Press yesterday that the decision to change the date of the Potter film’s release had only been finalised in the past week. “Their deadline must have been earlier than the decision, than when we started to get serious about making the decision,” he said, rather confusingly.
