Shit's gonna be closer to Paperboy than Precious-- pouring on the melodrama, perhaps even a bit campy.

But it should allow for actors to really sink their teeth in. And since he got one woman an Oscar and at least one more a nomination (did Kidman get one for Paperboy? Or just a Globe and SAG nom?), it's not a stretch to think the actors will garner buzz.

I suspect Oprah in particular-- I doubt she'd take this role just to be relegated to the sidelines. She'll have some big money scenes.

I'm super excited. I really liked The Paperboy.
