Trailer For Diablo Cody’s ‘Paradise’ Starring Julianne Hough, Russell Brand, & Octavia Spencer
The first trailer for Diablo Cody’s (Juno, Young Adult) directorial debut Paradise has been released. Formerly titled Lamb of God, the film centers on a religious 21 year old woman who heads to Las Vegas to experience “worldly pleasures/basic abominations” after surviving a horrific accident. I’ve enjoyed all of Cody’s films thus far and Paradise looks like a sweet and heartfelt little dramedy. The film will be released on DirectTV beginning August 8th before hitting theaters on October 18th.
After a nearly fatal accident, 21-year-old Lamb Mannerheim (Hough) is beginning to realize that the world is much bigger than her small, God-fearing Montana town. Armed with a big, fat insurance payout and a checklist of untried sins, there’s only one place for her first taste of temptation…Las Vegas! And, with the help of a few new friends (Brand and Spencer), Lamb embarks on an oddball odyssey of lost souls, broken faith and cheap cocktails…a true journey of the heart.
