Ready to see Ryan Reynolds as a superhero?
Well, this role is a little different than GREEN LANTERN. In PAPER MAN, Reynolds plays an imaginary superhero by the name of Captain Excellent. The bleached blonde hero is the creation of failed middle aged writer, Richard (Jeff Daniels). The writer meets an unlikely friend in 17 year old, Abby (Emma Stone). The film is helmed and written by Dermot Mulroney’s brother Kieran and sister-in-law, Michele.
It should be interesting to see the dynamic between Daniels and Reynolds. Also, I know a lot of schmoes here are fans of the redheaded (actually she’s naturally a blonde) Stone.
The film has been circling film festivals for a bit now, but will finally have a limited release on April 23rd.
