Ryan Reynolds is really getting into this whole superhero thing lately. He’s already played Marvel heroes in BLADE: TRINITY and X-MEN ORIGINS: WOLVERINE, the latter of which he’ll eventually reprise the role of “Deadpool” in a solo film. At the moment he’s busy shooting GREEN LANTERN, which many are already excited about. But before his “Hal Jordan” wields the ring of power, he’ll be seen as a rather unusual superpowered individual in the film PAPER MAN, which stars Jeff Daniels, Emma Stone, and Lisa Kudrow. Directed by Kieran Mulroney, the film is said to be a coming-of-middle-age comedy that chronicles the unlikely friendship between failed author Richard Dunne and a Long Island teen who teaches him a thing or two about growing up, all under the disapproving eye of his long-suffering wife and his imaginary Superhero friend. Check out the poster above, and the trailer below. Look interesting, and hey, the cast alone makes it worth a look. Tell us your thoughts in the comments section below.

In addition to Hollywood reporting, Mark has worked for many years as an advertising and sci-fi/comic book artist. Clients have included Lucasfilm Ltd., Topps Trading Cards, The Dallas Mavericks and The Dallas Stars. From 2002 until 2015 he managed the Dallas Comic Con, Sci-Fi Expo and Fan Days events in the DFW area. He currently catalogs rare comic books and movie memorabilia for Heritage Auctions, and runs the Dallas Comic Show conventions, but remains an avid moviegoer and cinema buff. 
This is an excellent cast. Jeff Daniels thrives in films like this and The Squid and the Whale. It’s really great seeing Emma Stone’s career flourish after Superbad, so I’m looking forward to seeing her in this as well. And, of course, Ryan Reynolds is reliably hilarious.
