Matthew McConaughey Name Is ‘Mud’ First Trailer For Mud

Every time I hear ‘My Name Is Mud‘ you can’t stop thinking about the Primus song of the same name but it’s not it’s the first official trailer for Jeff Nichol’s new film Mud Starring Matthew McConaughey.

McConaughey plays Mud a fugitive on the run who creates an unlikely friendship with 2 teenage boys ( Tye Sheridan and Jacob Lofland) who try help Mud evade Bounty hunters, law men on his tail. We’ve not heard a lot about this film since it’s world première at last year’s Cannes Film Festival, then it was 2 clips however the silence hasn’t waivered  our interest in the film. 2012 was the year Matthew McConaughey kickstarted his ailing film career which was wrongly snubbed by The Oscars,the film also left Cannes with some really positive critical reviews too. We must n’t forget this is a Jeff Nichols film who looks to delivered another fantastic film, last years Take Shelter a highly underrated film though Mud may not be a cerebral as that film still the trailer shows there’s plenty of tension in the air leaving you thinking  do the boys realise how much danger they might just be in?

No word on a UK&Irish release date yet, for American cinephiles Mud will be playing at the Sundance film festival  which kicks off tomorrow. Mud also stars Reese Witherspoon, Sam Shepherd, Michael Shannon and Sarah Paulson.

Synopsis:MUD is an adventure about two boys, Ellis (Tye Sheridan) and his friend Neckbone (Jacob Lofland), who find a man named Mud (Matthew McConnaughey) hiding out on an island in the Mississippi.  Mud describes fantastic scenarios—he killed a man in Texas and vengeful bounty hunters are coming to get him. He says he is planning to meet and escape with the love of his life, Juniper (Reese Witherspoon), who is waiting for him in town. Skeptical but intrigued, Ellis and Neckbone agree to help him.  It isn’t long until Mud’s visions come true and their small town is besieged by a beautiful girl with a line of bounty hunters in tow.
