First Trailer For DALLAS BUYERS CLUB Arrives

Spirit Award winner Matthew McConaughey stars in this first trailer for the fact-based drama DALLAS BUYERS CLUB from director Jean-Marc Vallée (The Young Victoria).

In DALLAS BUYERS CLUB, McConaughey portrays real-life Texas electrician Ron Woodroof, an ordinary man who found himself in a life-or-death battle with the medical establishment and pharmaceutical companies. In 1986, Ron was blindsided by being diagnosed as HIV-positive and given 30 days to live.

With the U.S. still internally divided over how to combat the virus and restricting medications, Ron grabbed hold of non-toxic alternative treatments from all over the world by means both legal and illegal.

Seeking to avoid government sanctions against selling non-approved medicines and supplements, he established a “buyers club,” which fellow HIV-positive people could join for access to his supplies.

The film’s original screenplay is by Craig Borten and Melissa Wallack. DALLAS BUYERS CLUB will have it’s world premiere at the 2013 Toronto Film Festival, followed by a theatrical release on November 1st in New York and Los Angeles.
