Clint Mansell is scoring the upcoming psychological thriller Stoker. The film is helmed by Korean director Park Chan-wook (Oldboy) and stars Mia Wasikowska, Nicole Kidman, Matthew Goode, Dermot Mulroney and Jacki Weaver. The Fox Searchlight Pictures production centers on a teenage girl who must deal with the unexpected appearance of a mysterious uncle following the death of her father. Wentworth Miller (Prison Break) has written the film’s script under the pseudonym Ted Foulke. Ridley and Tony Scott, as well as Michael Costigan (Being Flynn, Smart People) are producing the director’s first English language feature film through their Scott Free Productions company. It has previously been reported that Academy Award-winner Philip Glass was involved as the composer of the mystery thriller earlier this year. Mansell is currently recording his music for Stoker at Air Studios in London. No word yet on a release date for the film, but a premiere at one of the major film festivals this year appears likely.

In celebration of Nic’s controversial new movie The Paperboy, Yahoo! Movies have a short feature on her most risque roles to date…
What’s your favourite of all of Nicole’s risky roles?
Nicole Kidman’s risqué roles
Nicole Kidman is no wallflower. Her body of work is a testament to her willingness to go all out. And speaking of body — she has no reservations when it comes to showing hers.
As her next unconventional role awaits in “The Paperboy,” in theaters later this year, we think it wise to take a look at Kidman’s risqué and even risky roles.
Dead Calm
From the outset of her film career, Kidman has shown she has guts. In the 1989 sea-set thriller “Dead Calm,” Kidman plays a woman who is forced to use her sexuality in an attempt to save her life in what was her breakout role. (And yes, she gets nekkid with Billy Zane, who plays the villain.)

Here’s another great, in depth interview from Cannes. I don’t think I’ve posted it before, but I am losing track with all the new promotion!
Nicole Kidman: “I have an incredibly powerful imagination”
May 29th 2012
Wearing a stunning black and white Christian Dior dress and black Manolo Blahnik heels, Nicole Kidman reigns supreme on the Cannes red carpet. A busy woman, she was promoting Paperboy, starring opposite Zac Efron and John Cusack, as well as the HBO film, Hemingway and Gellhorn, opposite Clive Owen. Her husband, Keith Urban was by her side and the happy couple looked glamorous, as always, in one of the most beautiful cities in the world. She gushes about her adorable husband, talks about motherhood, and her upcoming role as Grace Kelly.
Q: People always describe you as fearless. Do you agree with that description?
No, I think I have an enormous amount of fear, but I think I just push through it.
Q: How do you push through it?
Sometimes other people push me through it, and sometimes I just make myself. I don’t even know how to describe it. I’ll feel terrified, and then I’ll just go, “But what’s the worst that can happen?” So, if people don’t like it, so I fall flat on my face, I hurt myself, okay. I try to think like that in everything, even in terms of falling love. You go, I’m going to love to the fullest that I can, because why not? And I’m going to love my children that way, and I love my husband that way, and maybe there is going to be pain, but I am willing to accept the pain.
Q: This morning in the newspaper, the headline was, “Nicole Kidman Sets the Festival on Fire”.
What paper was that? Oh no. (laughter)

Here are another batch of reviews of The Paperboy from the screenings at Cannes:
Cannes: ‘The Paperboy,’ starring Zac Efron and Nicole Kidman, proves that ‘Precious’ director Lee Daniels needs some common sense to go with his talent
When you hear about a movie that gets booed at the Cannes Film Festival, you tend to picture a monolithic thumbs-down chorus, like an ancient arena crowd turning on a gladiator. Actually, that’s not how it works. There is almost always at least some polite applause after film festival showings, so the boos, when they do happen, tend to be mixed in with clapping. That’s the sound I heard this morning when the closing credits rolled on Lee Daniels’ The Paperboy. And, in fact, that sound expressed my own feelings exactly. I wanted to do a catcall and clap encouragingly at the same time.
The Paperboy, a tale of homicide, hot-and-bothered sex, and rattlesnake-mean racism set in a small Florida town in 1969, is Daniels’ first film since Precious: Based on the novel ‘Push’ by Sapphire (2009), and since I’d hated Daniels’ first film as a director, Shadowboxer, and loved Precious, the question I had going into this movie is: Was Precious a fluke, or did Daniels, who’d been best known as a producer, have a major sensibility as a filmmaker? My short answer is: He does. The Paperboy is based on a Pete Dexter murder mystery, but it’s very much in the stark and plain, deliberately ramshackle and stripped down mode of Precious. I’m not just talking about the look of the movie, either. I’m talking about atmosphere, the corroded and even cruddy authenticity that says, “This is a movie that doesn’t pretty things up.” Daniels shoots lower-middle-class Southern living rooms and offices, and the people in them, the way they really looked in 1969 — the bad wood paneling and worn Formica, the fried chicken a little too greasy in its plastic tub, the period hair and eyeshadow that doesn’t scream, “Look at this period hair and eyeshadow!” He also captures the sleepy, lackadaisical, humidity-clogged rhythms of the South in the pre-media-clatter age. And also the precise way that a small-town Florida citizen in 1969 might have slipped the word “n—-r” into the conversation. Next to this movie, The Help looks about as naturalistic as a kabuki performance.

Hello Nicole fans! After far too much delay, I now have another batch of HQ Cannes photos for you! I’ve added over 200 gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous HQ photos from the Paperboy premiere, at which Nic swished up the red carpet in a stunning pink Lanvin gown. I love this look on her, she looks statuesque and dazzling, and very confident! Enjoy browsing through the premiere photos, as well as 50 HQs from the afterparty.
As you may notice from the title – … Part 1 – this is just the first batch! I have many more photos from all Cannes events to add, but I decided to just add the start of them rather than keeping you waiting any longer (sorry about that!). So the full lot will be up in time. If you want them 
The bash, hosted by Ciroc Vodka and skincare line Erno Laszlo, was also attended by costars Nicole Kidman and Matthew McConaughey, along with Kidman’s hubby Keith Urban and Reese Witherspoon. And guests were treated to elegant affair, despite the gritty nature of the movie being honored.
The event was held in a white lily-filled vintage lounge on Carlton Beach in Cannes, where guests sipped vodka and noshed on “every flavor of macaroons,” according to a party-goer.
