Nicole Kidman sent provocative pictures of herself to film maker Lee Daniels to convince him she was the right person to play a sex-crazed woman in The Paperboy.

Kidman stars alongside Zac Efron and Matthew McConaughey in the steamy thriller - Daniels' first film following his 2009 Oscar-winning drama Precious.

Daniels initially baulked at casting Kidman in the low budget movie, fearing she was too accustomed to luxury Hollywood movie sets, but the actress was so determined to land the role, she dressed up as the character and texted him some saucy snaps.

She tells Us Weekly, "Lee sai...

Film maker Lee Daniels has brushed off criticism of his new movie The Paperboy after causing controversy in Cannes by debuting a scene in which Nicole Kidman appears to urinate on Zac Efron to treat a jellyfish sting.

The all-star cast includes Forest Whitaker as Allen and Oprah Winfrey as his wife, while Jane Fonda has signed on to portray a...

After Lee Daniels took "Precious" from low-budget Sundance indie all the way to a Best Picture nomination at the 2010 Oscars, getting another project off the ground should have been a piece of cake. Post-Best Director nomination, Daniels circled "Selma," a racial period drama, "The Butler," an epic biopic starring Denzel Washington and an adaptation of the gritty Broadway musical "The Scottsboro Boys." Nothing seemed to come together.

Now, Vulture reports, Daniels is honing in on a project that's a little more Hollywood, a little less prestige and a whole lot more probable of getting the g...
