Nicole Kidman to Replace Sofia Vergara in Lee Daniels’ The Paperboy
So, it goes like this. Few days ago, we reported that Sofia Vergara is no longer attached to star in the upcoming Lee Daniels‘ project The Paperboy, and today, we’re here for a little interesting update.
According to the latest reports, Nicole Kidman is in talks to replace Vergara, believe it or not! If negotiations work out, Kidman will join the cast that, at this moment includes Matthew McConaughey and Zac Efron.
Ok, I see you’re surprised again. I know, I know, somebody’s missing. And it’s not only Vergara, but also previously announced Tobey Maguire. Unfortunately, Maguire dropped out of the project last week as well.
Let me remind you that The Paperboy is actually an adaptation of Pete Dexter’s 1995 novel of the same name that will center on a reporter and his brother who investigate the events surrounding a murder in order to exonerate a man on death row.
Sofia Vergara Out Of Lee Daniels’ The Paperboy
I like Sofia Vergara. She’s crazy enough to star in almost every Hollywood comedy, but I would love to see her in some other genre as well.
So, for a minute, her involvement in the upcoming Lee Daniels‘ drama titled The Paperboy sounded like a perfect chance for this lovely lady to show us what she knows.
Unfortunately, that’s not going to happen anymore because we’ve just learned she has just dropped out of the film.
As guys from Deadline explained it, the thing with independent films is that they take forever to come together, and when the start date of the movie got pushed back a week, the schedule conflicted with her day job on Modern Family.
By the way, the third season of this show will be getting underway by then, and of course, that one is her first priority, “so once she was made aware of the change in schedule, she had no choice but to pull.” That’s a shame.

Excellent Marc Forster had at one time been set to direct it. “Babel” writer Guillermo Ariaga once penned a draft of the script (2002).
