Looks like Source Code is going to have some company in Austin this March; Heat Vision has announced two more big premieres for the 2011 SXSW Film Festival.
The first is The Beaver, directed by Jodie Foster and starring everyone’s favorite anti-Semite Mel Gibson. The second big premiere is Paul, the Greg Mottola-directed alien road trip comedy that reunites Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz stars Simon Pegg and Nick Frost. The Beaver will be making its world premiere, while Paul will be using SXSW to make its U.S. debut, which is a pretty good idea since Austin is going to be filled to the brim with movie nerds that whole week.
For those of you who can’t make it to the festival, don’t fret; The Beaver will be released nationwide April 18th while Paul goes nationwide March 18th, two days after it premieres at the festival. Also announced are the Conan O’ Brien tour documentary Can’t Stop, as well as Ti West‘s follow-up to The House of the Devil, The Innkeepers.
