Nicole Kidman may join Lee Daniels' PAPERBOY

Since Sofia Vergara dropped out of Lee Daniels' Paperboy, the Precious director has been on the hunt for a replacement. THR reports that he may have found her in Nicole Kidman, who is in talks to take the lead role in the drama. Matthew McConaugheyZac EfronTobey Maguire and Sofia Vergarawere set to star in the film with shooting planned for later this summer. In addition to Vergara exiting, Maguire also dropped out of the project, which has caused a delay in the shoot. Producers are in talks with Kidman to fill in for Vergara, with McConaughey and Efron still attached to star.

Paperboy focuses on "a reporter and his brother who investigate the events surrounding a murder in order to exonerate a man on death row. Kidman, if her deal can be made, will play a woman with a dark side who writes letters to men on death row. She brings the case to the attention of the reporter, developing a relationship with him."

Kidman recently finished shooting HBO Films' romance film Hemingway and Gellhorn, in which she plays war correspondent opposite Clive Owen’s Ernest Hemingway. This sounds like a good project for Kidman, we will keep you posted when the deal is final.
