After ‘True Detective’: This is the new thriller that Matthew McConaughey has in his hands

Matthew McConaughey returns to the detective genre and will star in a new thriller titled: ‘Rivals of Amziah King’. After having crowned himself within the genre by giving life to the unforgettable Rust Cole, in the first season of ‘True Detective’, which he starred in with Woody Harrelson in 2014, the interpreter will once again enter a dark and mysterious atmosphere in rural Oklahoma.

Plot details are still under wraps as the film is in an early stage of production.. However, we do know who is behind the project. Black Bear Pictures, the company responsible for other titles such as ‘Cracking the Enigma’, will fully finance the film.

In addition, the production company will launch its international sales during the Cannes Film Festival, which will take place in the coming weeks of the month.
