It sucks that these guys won't be in the film, but it really all comes down to the tight schedule Tarantino's trying to fit the production into to try to have it ready to show at Cannes next year. As far as Paul is concerned, as a massive fan of Spaced, I'm dying to see Pegg take on the role of an average nerdy guy again. I wish Edgar Wright were directing it, but Superbad was hilarious, so I'm not going to scoff at Mottola.

I feel like he would have really broken through with this Tarantino flick. Oh well. Once in a lifetime opportunities come by all the time for him, I guess.
