The Paperboy

Die Story dreht sich um zwei Brüder: Ward Jansen (Matthew McConaughey), ein Reporter der Tageszeitung "The Miami Times", und sein Bruder Jack Jansen (Zac Efron) der aktuell sein College abgebrochen hat. Jack lebt zusammen mit ihrem Vater W.W. Jansen (Scott Glenn) in einer kleinen Stadt in Florida. Als Ward zusammen mit seinem Kollegen Yardley Acheman (David Oyelowo) bei ihnen auftaucht um einer Story für die Zeitung nachzugehen, bietet er Jack an sie durch die Gegend zu fahren. Der Grund für Wards erscheinen ist die mysteriöse Einzelgängerin Charlotte Bless (Nicole Kidman) welche über Gefangene in der Todeszelle schreibt. Sie überzeugte sie das Hillary Van Wetter (John Cusack), ein Krokodiljäger aus den Hinterwäldern zu unrecht während einer Gerichtsverhandlung in der Nähe ihrer Heimatstadt verurteilt wurde. Je weiter die Nachforschungen voranschreiten desto mehr wird klar das die Brüder sich auf einer Reise voll mit Lug und Betrug befinden. Das einzige was konstant bleibt ist diese seltsame, hübsche Frau die sich in Mörder zu verlieben scheint.

Fans got their first glimpse of former "High School Musical" star Zac Efron steaming up the screen in Nicholas Sparks' romantic drama "The Lucky One" in April, but as it turns out, that was just a warm-up for his sexy new role in the movie "The Paperboy." The film, directed by Lee Daniels, producer of Oscar-winning movies "Monster's Ball" and "Precious" and the director of "Precious," was screened at the Cannes Film Festival on Thursday. Set in Florida in 1969, the movie features Efron as the younger brother of Matthew McConaughey, a journalist who's returned to his family home to investigate whether a man (played by John Cusack) was wrongly sent to death row. Actress Nicole Kidman plays the woman that Efron's character loves, although her character is obsessed with the inmate. She was described by one reviewer as "an oversexed Barbie."
However, it's Efron, 24, who is decidedly stripped-down for the film. Singer Macy Gray, who plays a maid in the movie, estimated that, "[Efron] was in his underwear half the time." At Cannes, director Daniels joked that Efron's barely-there clothing was his choice. "He's a good-looking guy," Daniels said. "And I'm gay. What do you want?"
On a more serious note, Efron confessed that he was uneasy shooting in such a skimpy wardrobe, but that was okay with him. "I don't think I was supposed to feel comfortable," the former boyfriend of Vanessa Hudgens said. "It's like life. This character is supposed to be learning the ways of the world, and that can be very uncomfortable. But it's also exciting." In one scene, for example, Kidman's character reportedly urinates on Efron to help him after a jellyfish sting. Talk about awkward!
Efron clearly enjoyed was working with the 44-year-old Kidman, who won an Oscar for Best Actress for her performance in 2002 movie "The Hours." "I've been in love with her for a long time — since 'Moulin Rouge,'" Efron said of the 2001 flick. "It was the loveliest time in the world for me."
"The Paperboy" is up for the Palme d'Or at Cannes, which is awarded to the festival's best film every year. But whether it wins that or any other award, something tells me plenty of people will be willing to check it out anyway!
