THE DALLAS BUYERS CLUB First Set Photos: Jared Leto In Drag, Skinny Matthew McConaughy & Jennifer Garner!
What the hell happened with Matthew McConaughy and Jared Leto? Don't worry guys, they're just busy working on their new project titled Dallas Buyers Club. In case you've missed our previous reports, this is your perfect chance to find more details about an upcoming indie project which comes from director Jean-Marc Vallee and to see more photos in the rest of this report!
The most important thing is that this project will actually tell us the true story of Ron Woodroof, a tough Texas electrician who was diagnosed with AIDS in 1986 and given six months to live. It's not hard to guess that McConaughy plays that guy, right?
Described as a frustrated with the lack of available medical options and unwilling to accept a death sentence (can you blame him?), Woodroof found a lifeline using alternative drugs and created a lucrative smuggling business that made those drugs available to AIDS patients.
As for the above mentioned cast, Jared Leto plays a fellow AIDS patient who meets Woodroof in the hospital, or, if you prefer – a flamboyant cross-dresser with HIV. He sure looks like one!
Jennifer Garner (guess she's the only one with a surprisingly normal role) also stars as the female lead, Dr. Eve Saks.
But, at the end of this report, let us also mention that Dallas Roberts and Steve Zahn are also on board to star in Dallas Buyers Club.
