Sadly, noble ideals can always be perverted, and evil can result even from the pursuit of truth is the conclusion of Pete Dexter’s The Paperboy novel. Luckily, Lee Daniels, director of the Oscar-winning Precious will direct, co-produce and co-write the erotic thriller based on The Paperboy novel.
Also, John Cusack is in a role previously set for Tobey Maguire, who dropped out due to schedule conflict with Baz Luhrmann’s The Great Gatsby.
Previously, Nicole Kidman replaced Sofia Vergara who had to leave the project for the same scheduling conflict reason with Modern Family series. Luckily, or sadly, the time will show.
As for Zac Efron, he has already confirmed as part of the cast, but there’s no word yet on what role Efron will play. Cusack plays a condemned prisoner while Kidman, if her deal can be made, plays a woman with a dark side who writes...

While you may not see much of John Cusack at your local megaplex, he’s still very much one of cinema’s more intriguing actors. Be it films like The Ice Harvest or the shockingly solid thriller 1408, Cusack will see quite an upswing in projects, with films like The Raven and Dictablanda, a film that he’s also written. And you can add yet another project to that slate.

Here are a few interesting and/or noteworthy projects that were recently added to IMDbPro's database of development titles.
Track Town— Here's an inspiring filmmaking story from down under. Noticing a lack of interesting roles being offered to her, Aussie actress Teresa Palmer is making things happen on her own. The I Am Number Four star will co-write, direct and star in this 1990s road movie she describes as a hybrid of The Wackness and Thelma & Louise.
Untitled Woody Allen Fall Project— Woody Allen's ready to conquer Rome. After leaving the island of Manhattan for European trips to Paris and Barcelona, the iconic New Yorker is reportedly setting his sights on the eternal city as the setting for his next film. Plot is unknown (che sorpresa!) with the script still in its early stages of development.
Dictablanda— John Cusack produces, co-writes and stars in this screwball comedy presumably about a South American dictator. Plot details were kept under wraps. Filming is underway in Argentina with Alejandro Agresti at the helm.
Highwaymen— John Lee Hancock directs this tale of notorious baddies Bonnie & Clyde (as told from the good guys who caught 'em) with a script by Young Guns scribe John Fusco. Casey Silver produces.
The Runner— Finding Neverland's Marc Forster's found Disney and Imagine Entertainment to produce his upcoming sci-fi flick co-created with Dave Andron (FX's Justified). Looking to find its way into all types of different mediums (TVs, cell phones, video games, etc.), the project centers on a group of post-apocalyptic survivors living in the mountains in the year 2027.
