Matthew McConaughey has had arguably the best comeback of any modern actor of the last few years. He’s been taking good role after good role, with 2013 bringing some of his best yet. We already saw the fantastic Mud, and we are awaiting The Wolf Of Wall Street and Dallas Buyers Club (as well as Interstellar). A trailer has finally been released for Dallas Buyers Club, and it looks great.
As you may have seen around the internet or tabloids, McConaughey has lost an insane amount of weight for his role as Ron Woodroof, a man diagnosed with HIV. Not happy with the treatment options stateside, he looks for alternative medicine from other countries. Along with his doctor Eve Saks (Jennifer Garner) and Rayon, a transgender woman (played by Jared Leto), they create the Dallas Buyers Club, providing alternative treatments to HIV patients.
Th film is directed by Jean-Marc Vallée and features two performances which will be watched with a watchful eye from the Academy. Matthew McConaughey looks to give one of the defining performances of his career, but he’s not the only one. Jared Leto returns to film for the first time since 2009, and it looks like he may have some Oscar buzz around his performance as well. I didn’t realize it was him at first when I saw the trailer. Steve Zahn, Dallas Roberts, Kevin Rankin, Denis O’Hare, and Bradford Cox of the band Deerhunter also star. It’s Cox’s debut film role.
Dallas Buyers Club looks like its going to be something special when it comes out on November 1. Find the trailer below.
