Keep up with the latest, right here.

Movie: At the Sea with Amy Adams

This summer, Paul joined the cast of upcoming film At the Sea, starring Amy Adams.

Deadline describes how the film “follows the life of Laura (Adams) after a long rehabilitation, as she returns to her family at their beach holiday home where she has to readjust to the complicated life she left behind. Now she is forced to face the following next chapter of her life without the career that gave her fame, fortune and, most importantly, identity.”

Paul played opposite Ms. Adams as Frank, a professional (but questionably talented) dancer desperate for Laura’s attention, not realizing she has stepped away from her artistic career.

Filming wrapped on August 12, so check back soon for more info!
