Oscar-winner leading the non-fiction adaptation…
‘Interstellar’ and ‘Dallas Buyers Club’ star Matthew McConaughey is to topline an adaptation of the Benjamin Wallace book ‘The Billionaire’s Vinegar.’
Screenwriters Michael Brandt and Derek Haas (‘Wanted,’ ‘3:10 To Yuma’) are providing the script, which tells the true story of a 1787 Château Lafite Bordeaux— discovered in a Paris cellar and supposedly owned by America’s founding father Thomas Jefferson—that sold for $156,000 at auction and of the eccentrics whose lives intersected with it.
Todd Black, James Lassiter, Jason Blumenthal, Steve Tisch and Will Smith are on board to produce the adaptation.
