After its screening at Cannes Film Festival (and its 16 minute standing ovation!) last month, it has been revealed that 'The Paperboy' has been picked up by a distributor and got a release date! Check out more info below from 'The Wrap'!
Millennium Entertainment has set an October 5 theatrical release date for "The Paperboy," meaning that as the trees start shedding their leaves, American audiences will be treated to the spectacle of Nicole Kidman urinating on Zac Efron.
Set in a small town in Florida in 1969, "The Paperboy" tells the story of a young man (Efron) helping a reporter (Matthew McConaughey) uncover the truth about a death row inmate (John Cusack), who might have been wrongly convicted. In the process, he falls for the convict's lover (Kidman).
"I'm delighted by the extraordinary audience response at Cannes to Lee Daniels' film and we're thrilled to release 'The Paperboy' this fall," Millennium Entertainment CEO Bill Lee said in a statement. "Lee's unique filmmaking voice combined with this high profile cast makes for a must-see movie."
With all the hype from Cannes, we can't wait to see the movie!
