McConaughey Tipped For "The Free State Of Jones"

Oscar-winner Matthew McConaughey is said to be starring in the Civil War drama "The Free State Of Jones" says ScreenDaily.


"The Hunger Games" director Gary Ross wrote the screenplay from which he (more than likely) calls the shots--The story follows Newton Knight (McConaughey), a Southern unionist who fled the battlefield and rallied Confederate Army deserters to his so-called Knight Company against the Confederacy. Knight went on to marry the former slave of his grandfather and is still a divisive figure to this day .

Scott Stuber  is set to produce the pic with Ross.

Production begins in the first quarter of 2015
