Trailer Time: 'Paper Man'



'Paper Man' is a new movie starring Jeff Daniels about a writer who goes to a deserted beach town to cure his writer's block. While he's there he befriends a local girl in the form of Emma Stone....oh yeah and he has a best friend that's an imaginary superhero. The coolest thing about this is we get to see a version of Ryan Reynolds as a Superhero before we see him in the Green Lantern garb. I must say he pulls it off well and if he hadn't already been locked up for 'Lantern' he would make a great Captain America. Here's the official plot synopsis:

Paper Man is an inspirational comedic drama about an unlikely friendship between Richard (Jeff Daniels), a failed middle-aged novelist who has never quite grown up and Abby (Emma Stone), a 17-year-old girl whose role in a family tragedy years earlier has stolen away her youth. Both are unsure, both are afraid to take firm steps forward, and both are looking for that special friend—that connection—to help guide them into the future. Since his childhood, Richard has mostly relied on the imaginary one that resides in his head—a costumed superhero known as Captain Excellent (Ryan Reynolds).



At the urging of his wife Claire (Lisa Kudrow), Richard has moved to a Long Island beach community for the winter season in order to overcome his writer’s block. There, Richard meets Abby and hires her as a weekly babysitter, even though he has no children. Their tenuous, new friendship is sparked by Richard’s awe over Abby’s homemade soup and Abby’s enjoyment of Richard’s writing and his attempts at Origami. As the season progresses and the warm, quirky friendship between Richard and Abby grows, the two begin to share with each other their dreams and life hardships. With the coming of spring, Richard and Abby discover there comes a time to let go of the imaginary friends of the past and to embrace the future as a new beginning—just as one would embrace a new and unique friendship.
