Fortunately for McConaughey, his latest summer release, Kubo and the Two Strings, has been a big hit with moviegoers, and his upcoming projects, like Sing and The Dark Tower, should help cover up the blemish that is The Sea of Trees.
The cast also includes Naomi Watts, Katie Aselton and Jordan Gavaris.
Directed by Gus Van Sant and written by Chris Sparling, The Sea of Trees is about a man named Arthur Brennan who travels to the “Suicide Forest” near Mount Fuji in Japan to kill himself.
Upon reaching his destination, he meets another man, Takumi Nakamura, played by Ken Watanabe, who also wants to kill himself, and together they go on a “journey of self-reflection and survival.”
