A while back Jeff Daniels starred in a movie about a fatuous egghead called “The Answer Man,” and now he’s playing a fatuous novelist in “Paper Man.” I can’t wait to see what his next “Man” movie will be. “Digital Man,” perhaps?

He’s playing Richard Dunn, the author of a well-reviewed but dismally uncommercial novel, who is struggling to make headway on a new book.

The movie stars Emma Stone as a 17-year-old who strikes up an unlikely friendship with a middle-age novelist, played by Jeff Daniels. Both characters rely on made-up friends, including Daniels’ fictional Captain Excellent, played by Ryan Reynolds (who seems to be making a career of superhero roles lately). • Read full story…

I’ve added new posters, stills & trailer screen captures of Emma featured on her new film, ‘Paper Man’ to the gallery.

As I have received some new information from the movie representative for ‘Paper Man’ as it will be released April 23rd in New York (Angelika Theater) and Los Angeles (Landmark Theater). It’s opening May 7th in Seattle (Landmark Metro) and May 21st in San Francisco (theater TBD). More dates will be rolling out as summer draws closer.
