Almost simultaneously, first trailers for both films have finally debuted.
Lee Daniels follow-up to 2009s Precious follows younger paper staffer Jack Jansen (Zac Efron) as he looks into a case involving a man sitting on Death Row, Hillary Van Wetter, accused of killing a local sheriff (John Cusack); then, trouble and temptation follows suit in the form of the inmate's Southern belle fiancée, Charlotte Bless (Nicole Kidman).
The film also stars leading-man-of-the-moment newspaper reporter Matthew McConaughey, to dig into the case.
We really wanted a glimpse of the scene where Kidman wees on Efron to help with a jellyfish sting. Instead, we get to see the two dance around in their underwear.
A deep South crime story, The Paperboy, adapted from Peter Dexter's novel of the same name co-starring David Oyelowo and plays limited theaters starting October 5th 2012.
Here's the trailer for the film in all its pulpy glory.
