Matthew McConaughey Lines Up 'Sea of Trees'

Matthew McConaughey has chosen his first post-Oscar project and he made an appearance at the Cannes Film Festival, to dish on the film, which will start shooting this summer under the direction of Gus Van Sant.

Entitled 'Sea of Trees', the forthcoming project sees McConaughey playing a suicidal man who makes a visit to a dense forest at the base of Mt. Fuji in Japan, a place where people go to contemplate life and death.

Although he will next be seen in the Christopher Nolan's highly-anticipated epic 'Interstellar' and is a frontrunner for a Emmy nomination (and hopefully, a deserved win) for 'True Detective', this will mark the first film that he has signed on since winning acting's top prize for 'Dallas Buyers Club' and he admits that more opportunities have come his way. "I'm still looking for things that scare me a little bit. This one (Sea Of Trees) scares me, but in a good way". The film certainly sounds promising!
