STX Entertainment has
released a new trailer for writer/director Gary Ross' upcoming Civil War drama
Free State of Jones, starring Academy Award winning actor Matthew McConaughey
as Newt Knight, a defiant Southern farmer who with his extraordinary armed militia
of small farmers and local slaves launched an uprising that led Jones County,
Mississippi to secede from the Confederacy.
Knight continued his
struggle into Reconstruction, distinguishing him as a compelling, if
controversial, figure of defiance long beyond the War.
Opening in theaters
on June 24, Free State of Jones also stars Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Mahershala Ali,
Christopher Berry, and Keri Russell.
