HIV and drug dealing is the focus of Dallas Buyers Club
Matthew McConaughey has had an amazing last few years in terms of great performances, solid source material, and critical acclaim. He appears to be continuing his winning streak with the new film Dallas Buyers Club, which takes a look at HIV and drug dealing for justice. The trailer promises greatness, and here’s hoping McConaughey and supporting players Jared Leto, Jennifer Garner, Steve Zahn, Griffin Dune, Dallas Roberts, and Denis O’Hare deliver on that promise.
Watch the trailer for the film, and see the first poster, after the jump.
Here’s a synopsis for Dallas Buyers Club:
In this fact-based drama, Matthew McConaughey portrays real-life Texas electrician Ron Woodroof, an ordinary man who found himself in a life-or-death battle with the medical establishment and pharmaceutical companies. In 1985, Ron was blindsided with an HIV diagnosis and given 30 days to live. With medications still restricted in the US and the country still divided over how to combat the virus, Ron procured non-toxic alternative treatments from all over the world through both legal and illegal means. To avoid government sanctions against selling non-approved medicines and supplements, Ron established a “buyers club” for fellow HIV-positive people, giving them access to his supplies.
The is set to hit theaters November 1st.
