Trailer: Free State Of Jones (2016)

STX Entertainment has revealed the first trailer for the Civil War action-drama Free State of Jones, starring Matthew McConaughey (Interstellar, Dallas Buyers Club).

Written and directed by four-time Oscar nominee Gary Ross (The Hunger Games, Seabiscuit, Pleasantville), Free State of Jones is an epic action-drama set during the Civil War, and tells the story of defiant Southern farmer, Newt Knight, and his extraordinary armed rebellion against the Confederacy. Banding together with other small farmers and local slaves, Knight launched an uprising that led Jones County, Mississippi to secede from the Confederacy, creating a Free State of Jones. Knight continued his struggle into Reconstruction, distinguishing him as a compelling, if controversial, figure of defiance long beyond the War.

Well, it looks like it has some quality behind it, so who knows, maybe this is one to watch out for.
