Nicole Kidman and John Cusack Shooting The Paperboy Pictures

A newly blond Nicole Kidman arrived on set with her costar John Cusack in New Orleans today. Production on The Paperboy has begun, and director Lee Daniels put together an all-star cast including Matthew McConaughey, Zac Efron, and Tobey Maguire. Nicole was one of the last actors to sign on. She was a replacement for Sofia Vergara after the latter had to drop out due to scheduling conflicts with Modern Family. The new hue comes as a big change for Nicole, who recently stepped out in NYC with her husband, Keith Urban, modeling her trademark red tresses. It's been a busy year personally and professionally for Nicole, since she wrapped up work on HBO's Hemingway & Gellhorn this Spring and kicked back on a family vacation in Australia with Keith, Sunday, and Faith Urban last month.
