Trivia
Simon Pegg and Nick Frost came up with the concept for Paul while waiting out a rainstorm on the set of Shaun of the Dead (2004). They handed producer Nira Park a sketch drawing of Paul wearing an FBI t-shirt, flipping off the viewer, with a caption that read “In the U.S., everybody is an alien.” The actual drawing can be seen during the closing credits.
A sequel for the film, titled “Pauls”, was considered, until prohibitive costs ruled out the sequel.
Sigourney Weaver’s character was originally written as a man.
When Agent Zoil says “People have accidents all the time,” it’s a reference to Hot Fuzz.
Principal photography included fifty days shooting in the New Mexico desert.
