Academy Award winner Matthew McConaughey (Dallas Patrons Membership, Interstellar) is to star in Paul Greengrass’ peasant revolt movie The Rage (previously often called The Hood).
Oscar nominee Greengrass can also be scripting the venture, which FilmNation is promoting for the upcoming European Movie Market in Berlin.
“The movie is about to happen throughout the Peasants’ Revolt, a serious rebellion that took half throughout giant elements of England in 1381 in response to socio-economic and political tensions and excessive taxation.”
McConaughey will play a farmer who turns into the chief of the revolt (which may point out that he’s enjoying the legendary Wat Tyler, who led the rebellion earlier than being killed by forces loyal to King Richard, although that is unconfirmed).
Jason Blum is newly producing by way of Blumhouse Productions, with Greengrass and Joanna Kaye. In a earlier incarnation from just a few years in the past, the venture had Benedict Cumberbatch aboard.
McConaughey is at the moment in put up on Greengrass’ venture The Misplaced Bus for Apple. That movie can also be produced by Blum. McConaughey’s The Rivals of Amziah King will launch at this yr’s SXSW.
