LEE DANIELS' "THE PAPERBOY" OFFICIAL TRAILER

Still from The Paperboy

Perhaps the most intriguing TIFF 2012 Film which still has yet to be announced. Zac Efron Fans, scroll to the 1:39 mark. That is all.

This already is looking like my favourite Film of 2012. It's got sizzling Drama, real Transformations and burning Intensity. Kidman. McConaughey. Cusack. Efron. Delicious.

Check out this just-released Trailer for Lee Daniels' (Precious) The Paperboy:

NICOLE KIDMAN IN "THE PAPERBOY"

Still from The Paperboy

This Still of Nicole Kidman from The Paperboy looking pretty much like a Hooker is why I am a devout Fan of hers for life.  She lives, breathes and emanates everything that it means to be a real Star and despite a few missteps following Moulin Rouge, The Hours and maybe even Fur, her Oscar-nominated performance in 2010's Rabbit Hole has ours attentions once again.

My Inside Sources are telling me pretty much that the Film will be at TIFF 2012 come September and for those who don't know, Lee Daniels (Precious) directs this Drama about a Reporter named Ward (Matthew McConaughey) and his younger Brother Jack (Zac Efron) who investigate a Murder in hopes of exonerating a Man on Death Row (John Cusack).  If that list of Notables doesn't excite you, then I truly don't know what will.  Although Reviews are somewhat mixed at this point, it did receive a Standing Ovation at Cannes in May.

Although this little Teaser doesn't reveal much, here's a taste of The Paperboy:

PRECIOUS SCORES AT THE NAACP AWARDS

The NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Coloured People) Awards were held this past weekend and as expected, Lee Daniels' Precious: Based on the Novel "Push" by Sapphire, absolutely cleaned up.  Gabourey Sidibe picked up her first major acting award this season as the film's lead actress, while supporting actress Mo'Nique, director Daniels and screenwriter Geoffrey Fletcher also won awards in their respective categories.  Mariah Carey, who turned in  a career-best performance here, unfortunately was not in attendance.  Mo'Nique is expected to win her first Oscar in the category of Best Supporting Actress this Sunday. And rightfully so.  

Although I fully support the NAACP  in its beliefs and initiatives, I still feel that more can be done to represent a wider spectrum of minority talent. Combing through the list of award winners, it is clear that the association's perception of "minority advancement" doesn't extend far outside the realms of white and black perhaps.

In case you missed its theatrical run, Precious will be released on DVD on Tuesday, March 9, 2010. (Photo credit: Associated Press)
