BOB MARLEY: ONE LOVE Featurette

The Paperboy To Star Sofia Vergara & Bradley Cooper

Precious Director Lee Daniels Wants Sofia Vergara, Bradley Cooper for Thriller The Paperboy

It’s been a year since Lee Daniels devastated us with Precious, but since then we’ve gotten precious little clarity about what he’d be doing next. (Is it The Butler, Selma, Anna in the Tropics? Or maybe that Fellini adaptation?) But now our spies tell us that Daniels appears to be settling on his next project, rewriting an adaptation of Pete Dexter 1995 novel The Paperboy that’s fast coming together at Relativity Media.

We hear that Daniels was in town last week reading young actors for parts, and now hear that he’s made offers to Bradley CooperAlex Pettyfer (who should open at No. 1 this weekend in DreamWorks’s I Am Number Four), and Modern Family's Sofia Vergara to star in the thriller. Cooper would play Pettyfer’s older brother, Ward, while Vergara would play the wife of a death-row inmate.

If you don’t know Peter Dexter the novelist (Paris Trout; Brotherly Love; Train; Spooner) you certainly know the shows (HBO’s Deadwood) based upon them, and the movies (Rush; Mullholland Falls) written by him.

In The Paperboy, Jack, the slacker son of backwater Florida newspaper editor and publisher, gets pulled into his older, big-city reporter brother’s investigation of a rural sheriff's murder, and whether the death-row inmate convicted of it was truly responsible. Being a Pete Dexter novel, things don’t go smoothly.

Sex Tape Review: Overly Sexual, Rude, Vulgar, and Absolutely Hilarious

The raunchy Sex Tape will divide audiences and critics, but who cares? Sex Tape suggests a growing practice among loving partners: that of making a raunchy testament of their escapades for posterity. But what happens when that evidence gets seen by friends, neighbors, and even the mailman? This is the plot that pits Jay (Jason Segel) and Annie (Cameron Diaz) in an effort to secure every iPad gift Jay has given, his record company playlists being the envy of the recipients, but which has also inadvertently spread the video to every device. The reason for the act - termed in the movie as pulling "the full Lincoln " for its three-hour length - stems from the couple's non-existent social life, brought on by the constant demands of their children. The couple has a lot to lose: a burgeoning business relationship between Annie and Hank (Rob Lowe) could end if the iPad she's given to Hank exposes the video, and so the couple sets out to reclaim and wipe the incrim
