NEON and VICE have announced they have pre-bought U.S. rights to Harmony Korine’s upcoming film The Beach Bum, an irreverent comedy starring Matthew McConaughey.
The Beach Bum follows the hilarious misadventures of Moondog (McConaughey), a rebellious and lovable rogue who lives life large.
The film is set to begin production this fall with a theatrical release planned for 2018.
The film is executive produced by Tom Quinn and Tim League for NEON and Shane Smith, Eddy Moretti, and Danny Gabai for VICE.
