Trailer For ‘Dallas Buyers Club’ Starring Matthew McConaughey, Jennifer Garner, & Jared Leto
The first trailer for Jean-Marc Vallée’s upcoming drama Dallas Buyers Club has been released. Based on a true story, the film centers on an accidental AIDS activist (Matthew McCounaughey) whose cross-border smuggling network brought much-needed treatments into the hands of HIV and AIDS patients neglected by the medical establishment. The film will have its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival in September. Jennifer Garner, Jared Leto, Steve Zahn, Dallas Roberts, Griffin Dunne, Denis O’Hare, and Bradford Cox also star.
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.
