Pass through the gates of James Cameron's minute-long invocation here and enjoy a Titanic screen test with Kate Winslet as Rose acting opposite Clueless star Jeremy Sisto as Jack.

News about Lee Daniels' anticipated post-"Precious" film is coming hot and heavy these days as the film rolls towards production. The latest addition to the cast of "The Paperboy" is Grammy-winning musician Maxwell.
Maxwell will be joining freshly cast star John Cusack, Nicole Kidman, Zac Efron and Matthew McConaughey in this drama about a guy on death row and the woman who falls in love with him. (Awwww?) Her letters and love prompt and investigation into his innocence. (Yay!)
Based on the novel by National Book Award winner Peter Dexter and produced by arthouse heavyweight Pedro Almodóvar, "The Paperboy" will definitely pique some critical interest while also appealing to an audience who's hungry for a good old thriller.
Where Maxwell fits into this murky Florida mystery is anybody's guess. He let slip the news at a fancy shindig for the upcoming flick "Sarah's Key" but nary a detail.
