The Year of McConaughey continues as Yahoo! Movies releases a trailer for The Paperboy, Lee Daniels‘ (Precious) latest film starring Zac Efron, Matthew McConaughey, David Oyelowo, Macy Gray, John Cusack and Nicole Kidman. You can check it out below!
In the film, a directionless young man helps his reporter brother investigate the possible wrongful conviction of a man on death row, and in the process, falls for the woman whom the convict has been romancing through prison correspondence.
The gritty drama has a surprisingly amount of 70s groove to it from the Oscar-nominated director, complete with a soul soundtrack and the always awesome split-screen. The Paperboy competed for the Palme d’Or at the 2012 Cannes Film Festival.
The Paperboy is set for release in the US on 5 October 2012. It does not currently have an Australian release date.
