“The Rivals of Amziah King”: Thriller with an all-star cast! Will it be a hit?

The plot of the film is kept secret for now. In the media, the project is described as a crime thriller with rural Oklahoma in the background.

In the foreground we will see Matthew McConaughey, but he is not the only star in the cast. It has just been announced that Kurt Russell (“Once Upon a Time in Hollywood”), Cole Sprouse (“Riverdale”), Owen Teague (“Rise of the Planet of the Apes”), Scott Shepherd (“Bridge of Spies”), Rob Morgan will star in the film (“Mudbound”), Tony Revolori (“Grand Budapest Hotel”) and Jake Horowitz (“To the Last Bone”).

He is responsible for directing and scripting Andrew Patterson; this will be the second work in his artistic output. The first production, “The Vast of Night”, mixing the sci-fi and thriller genres, debuted at the Slamdance festival in 2019. It received the audience award for best film there.

The last time we saw McConaughey on screen was Guy Richie's famous 2019 film “The Gentlemen.” After this performance, he was only an actor he lent his voice to characters from animated productions – became the visionary Buster Moon in “Sing 2” (2021) and became Elvis in the Netflix animated series “Agent Elvis” (2023).

There has been a lot of talk recently about his return to the screens; Apart from the film “The Rivals of Amziah King”, he takes part in the project “The Lost Bus” by Paul Greengrass. He is also in the process of producing a series for AppleTV+, which will be based on his long-term friendship with Woody Harrelson – “Brother From Another Mother”.
