Lucky you, Movies Blog readers! Not only do you get a second helping of Twitter-Wood reportage today; I also come bearing the answer your last-minute Halloween costume plans if you've been pondering how to pull the perfect outfit together from Quentin Tarantino's "Inglourious Basterds." Eli Roth tweeted a helpful diagram for anyone looking to replicate his Sgt. Donny Donowitz look, which helped earn his character his racy nickname "The Bear Jew."

In other sanitized-for-the-sake-of-this-column tweeting, Edgar Wright, Simon Pegg and Nick Frost collaborated on a slash fiction parody of their movie "Hot Fuzz," today, which apparently gained a lot of followers for Wright. Check out the barely family friendly ones after the jump, along with the "Eclipse" reveal planned for the "Twilight" Twitter account, Aziz Ansari's amusement park adventures and Jason Reitman's breakfast with the Chemical Brothers. It's all in the Twitter-Wood report for October 19, 2009. Read more...

One of the movies that I expect will perform well this weekend -- off of some solid buzz and a great cast, primarily -- is "Zombieland." They may not have penetrated the zeitgeist to the same degree as vampires and werewolves (thanks "Twilight"!), but the shambling, brain-eating dead are most definitely "in."

There aren't any "Zombieland" props up on eBay yet, but I've found something similarly relevant and just as cool for today's eBay Prop-Watch. It's an item from the inventive Edgar Wright/Simon Pegg zombie horror-comedy, "Shaun of the Dead." Hit the jump to see for yourself. Read more...

Sometimes a movie comes along that we know precious little about, except that we might want to keep an eye on this thing. “Paul” is one such project – a random mix of comedy and sci-fi starring fan favorites Simon Pegg, Jason Bateman, Kristen Wiig and Sigourney Weaver. Mix in the fact that it’s written by Pegg and his “Shaun of the Dead” partner Nick Frost, and directed by “Superbad” helmer Greg Mottola, and the recently-wrapped flick could be something special when it hits theaters next year.

Oh, and did I mention that it also stars Seth Rogen as an alien? Read more...

Not so long ago, we used to run a daily feature here on MTV Movies Blog called... uhh... The Dailies. In the fast-paced world of entertainment, it's easy to cherry pick the most noteworthy and or relevant stories while leaving lesser but otherwise cool newsbites to flounder. Even on my busiest day, I still won't hit every single news item that you might care about.

That's what The Dailies is for. I'm bringing back this column to keep you all abreast of the latest Hollywood happenings that don't otherwise make it into the news day. Even here, I'll be sure to miss stuff. That's where you readers come in. Shout out links in the comments below or Tweet us with the same at @mtvmoviesblog and I'll do my best to cram the relevant news into the next day's column. For now, on to the headlines! Read more...

A new movie from Simon Pegg and Nick Frost is always something to be excited about -- but if they recruit every pants-wettingly funny actor in existence to join them, then it may just be akin to a religious experience. We'll find out soon, because Variety reports that Seth Rogen, Jason Bateman, Kristen Wiig, Bill Hader and Jane Lynch have joined the cast of "Paul."

Directed by Greg Mottola ("Superbad," "Adventureland") and written by Pegg and Frost, "Paul" centers on two British comic book geeks who are enjoying a road trip to Comic-Con. Whether they accidentally happen upon Area 51 or go out of their way to visit it is unclear at this point, but they wind up befriending a small, escaped alien named Paul. Cue comic and extraterrestrial mayhem (but the good kind, not the "Howard the Duck" ugliness) as the two geeks help the little alien find his way home. Read more...

While director Greg Mottola ("Superbad," "The Day Trippers") is in the throes of doing press and promotion for his upcoming dramedy "Adventureland," he's also knee-deep in pre-production for next film, "Paul," slated for release via Universal.

A collaboration between British comedians Simon Pegg and Nick Frost (the writing-acting team behind, "Shaun Of The Dead," "Hot Fuzz," and BBC cult comedy, "Spaced"), the flick, written by the two English comics, centers on two British tourists on a roadtrip across the U.S. to San Diego's movie geek mecca Comic-Con, but along the way they run into a little diversion out of this world.

"They meet an alien. in the desert, in the middle of nowhere," Motolla said carefully. "But that's about all I can say." Read more...

FROM SPLASH PAGE: Steven Spielberg's adaptation of the classic 'Tintin' comics isn't having an easy time making it to the big screen. Production is only a month away, but the film lacks all but one cast member: Andy Serkis as Captain Haddock. But Ain't It Cool News is reporting that the film finally has a grand total of three cast members -- and the newest additions are as close to geek gods as you can get: Nick Frost and Simon Pegg.

Frost and Pegg will play the Thomson and Thompson twins, two men who are identical on the page except for the curl of their moustaches. As the film is using motion capture technology, it will be easy to actually make them resemble each other. But who wants to bet Spielberg will stray from the comic page, and allow their true looks to shine through? Why cast Pegg and Frost unless you want them to, well, be themselves?
