Michael Brandt and Derek Haas have been tapped to write the script, with Todd Black, James Lassiter, Jason Blumenthal, Steve Tisch, and Will Smith on hand serving as producers.

No official statement has been made by Sony on what character McConaughey will portray. Other cast members also haven’t been named. No production and release dates have been set yet.

McConaughey’s “Free States of Jones” will be hitting theaters on March 11 next year. The action-romance flick will see him starring as the main character Newton Knight, an American farmer who turned to be one of the best known rebel leaders in Civil War history.
