Paper Man Trailer, Posters and Photos
Check out the trailer and new poster for the upcoming indie comedy Paperman which stars Ryan Reynolds Jeff Daniels (The Squid and the Whale, Fly Away Home, Grand Tour: Disaster in Time), Emma Stone, Lisa Kudrow, Kieran Culkin, Hunter Parrish, and directed by Kieran Mulroney and Michele Mulroney. (Wolverine, Green Lantern),
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.

This film reminds me of coming-of-middle-age films like Sideways, or other independent comedies that are more sophisticated than your everyday fare.
