Variety reports that Seth Rogen, Jason Bateman, Bill Hader, Jane Lynch and Kristen Wiig have joined the cast of Paul, an upcoming comedy in the works at Universal.

Written by Nick Frost and Simon Pegg, it follows two sci-fi lovers who find their “conspiracy dreams” becoming true when they visit an escaped alien at Area 51. Seth Rogen is set to provide the alien’s voice.

Greg Mottola, known for Superbad, will direct the film, which is scheduled for release later this year.
