Synopsis: A sexually and racially charged film noir from Oscar-nominated
director Lee Daniels (Precious), The Paperboy takes audiences deep into
the backwaters of steamy 1960s South Florida, as investigative reporter
Ward Jansen (Matthew McConaughey) and his partner Yardley Acheman (David
Oyelowo) chase a sensational, career-making story. With the help of
Ward's younger brother Jack (Zac Efron) and sultry death-row groupie
Charlotte Bless (Nicole Kidman), the pair tries to prove violent
swamp-dweller
Hillary Van Wetter (John
Cusack) was framed for the murder of a corrupt local sheriff. Based on
the provocative bestselling novel by Pete Dexter (Mulholland Falls,
Rush), The Paperboy peels back a sleepy small town's decades-old façade
of Southern gentility to reveal a quagmire of evil as dark as a Florida
bayou. -- (Written by Millenium Films)
