Interesting trailer for 'Paper Man' hits

Check this out. A new trailer for Kieran and Michele Mulroney's new comedy drama "Paper Man" has debuted online, and I recommend you check it out after the jump. My first impressions are very positive, and I'm excited to see this great cast peform in what looks like a simple, yet quite intriguing drama.

Jeff Daniels plays Richard, a failed novelist suffering from writer's block who strikes up a friendship with a young woman (played by Emma Stone). Also starring is Ryan Reynolds, who plays a costumed superhero that exists only in Richard's mind. Lisa Kudrow is co-starring, and the film opens April 23, 2010.
