EXCLUSIVE: Here’s a hot one. Oscar winner Matthew McConaughey is to star in Paul Greengrass‘ peasant revolt film The Rage (formerly known as The Hood), we can reveal.

Oscar nominee Greengrass is also scripting the project, which FilmNation is selling for the upcoming European Film Market in Berlin.

The film is set to take place during the Peasants’ Revolt, a major uprising that took part across large parts of England in 1381 in response to socio-economic and political tensions and high taxation. McConaughey will play a farmer who becomes the leader of the revolt (which could indicate that he’s playing the legendary Wat Tyler, who led the uprising before being killed by forces loyal to King Richard, though this is unconfirmed).

Damn, the only thing that sounded interesting about this initially was the idea of McConaughey attempting an English accent.

“Alright, alright, alright then, old chap!”
