In his pajamas?

Those pajamas are Kevlar-lined. It's gonna be a fun cartoon series when we get it done.

We Might See Another Edgar Wright-Simon Pegg Film Before 'Star Trek 2′

We already started the conception process, so it's just a question of when we can get together. I'm just about to start shooting a movie here in the UK, so maybe between that and STAR TREK we might get a chance to bang out a first draft if we're lucky.
