Yesterday it was announced that Gary Ross will direct Oscar winner Matthew McConaughey and rising star Gugu Mbatha-Raw in the Civil War drama Free State of Jones.
Matthew will portray Newton Knight, a Missisippi bred Confederate recruit who created the Free State of Jones and later married a slave.
This story has major dramatic potential, and I can see both Matthew and Gugu delivering stellar performances. Let's hope the script proves to be worthy of the talent involved.
