Matthew McConaughey's ’“The Rivals of Amizah King” Trailer Is Here

Black Bear has dropped the official trailer for Matthew McConaughey's upcoming drama thriller, "The Rivals of Amziah King."

Hailing from writer-director Andrew Patterson, the film‘s official synopsis reads: “Set within the deep backwoods of rural Oklahoma, the film follows the charismatic and musically gifted Amziah King (McConaughey) who herds a bluegrass-playing band of misfits while overseeing the premier honey-making operation in town. When Amziah’s estranged foster daughter (Angelina LookingGlass) unexpectedly returns, he leaps at the possibility to renew connection and creating a family business. But the honey game is ruthless, and Amziah’s rivals threaten to destroy everything he has built.”

"The Rivals of Amziah King" also boards an impressive supporting cast consisting of Kurt Russell, Cole Sprouse, Jake Horowitz, and Tony Revolori.

Premiered at last year’s SXSW Film and TV Festival, "The Rivals of Amziah King" is the second from Patterson on the heels of "The Vast of Night", a sci-fi mystery distributed by Amazon that won the Audience Award for Best Narrative Feature in its Slamdance debut before going on to win Breakthrough Director at the Gotham Awards.

Black Bear fully financed the picture and produced alongside Heyday Films and G.E.D. Media.

Heyday’s David Heyman, Black Bear’s Teddy Schwarzman and Michael Heimler, Heyday’s Jeffrey Clifford, Will Greenfield, James Montague, and Patterson produced the film.

"The Rivals of Amziah King" will have a limited release on August 14 and wide release on August 21. Check out the trailer below.
