If you think you remember hearing something about the movie, that’s because it was originally going to get released here in the states a few months ago, but for whatever reason, it got pushed back to March. However, while we’re finally getting it next month, the film already opened in the United Kingdom and other parts of the world and it’s taken in over twenty million dollars. I think it’s safe to say the world likes Simon Pegg.

If you aren’t familiar with the film, I’ve also posted the trailer above the clips, but here’s what you need to know:

The movie was written by Michael Ian Black and Simon Pegg, and it was directed by David Schwimmer (yeah, the guy from “Friends”). The story is Simon Pegg was at the altar about to marry Libby (Thandie Newton), his pregnant fiancée. He got cold feet and ran for the hills and he's been going in circles ever since. When Dennis discovers Libby's hooked up with high-flying-go-getter Whit (Hank Azaria), he realizes it's now or never. He enters a marathon to show he's more than a quitter but then finds out just how much sweat, strain and tears it takes to run for 26 miles. Nobody gives him a chance but Dennis knows this is his only hope to more than a running joke.

Anyway, enough words from me, get your Simon Pegg fix below. Also, in late March there is a press day, so you can expect some interviews before the movie comes out.
