Yeah I am really excited about this movie also. It looks so intense and also Zac's darkest movie yet but its great I cant wait to see how he does in this movie.

It's a different character and type of movie for him, so I'm excited.

I don't think there are major changes from the book in the movie. Minor changes, but nothing drastic.

Good to hear that there are only minor changes to the storyline-it looks like a rather intense movie-Im anxious to see how Zac played the character of Jack James!!!!!

The Paperboy will be playing at the Toronto Film Festival in early September. See also the item under At Any Price. Here's the TIFF blurb:

The Paperboy
Lee Daniels, USA North American Premiere

A chilling sex-and-race-charged film noir, The Paperboy takes audiences deep into the backwaters of steamy 1960s South Florida, as investigative reporter Ward Jansen and his partner Yardley Acheman chase a sensational, career-making story with the help of Ward’s younger brother Jack and sultry death-row groupie Charlotte Bless. Starring Matthew McConaughey, Nicole Kidman, John Cusack, David Oyelowo and Zac Efron.

Yay! 2 movies at TIFF for Zac even if At Any Price will probably be better for him.

The August 20 issue of Time magazine included a nice plug for The Paperboy in its Fall Arts Preview, page 52. Here's the text, which appeared with a slutty picture of Nicole Kidman:

"Returning to his Florida hometown in the 1960s to solve a murder case, a star reporter (Matthew McConaughey) finds that no secret is too dirty, no sex too kinky, to be exposed in a Southern gothic melodrama. In his first film since Precious, director Lee Daniels assembles a distinguished cast - including Nicole Kidman, John Cusack, Scott Glenn and, as McConaughey's younger brother, Zac Efron - for a sub-Faulknerian wallow so lurid, it earned boos and a few cheers from the Cannes critics."

So, now Zac's considered "distinguished" by Time magazine. Woohoo.

I'm happy for the distinguished thing for Zac. It's a step in the right direction. Now just hoping for good things from At Any Price.
