Matthew McConaughey and Hilary Swank are both set to star in the upcoming movie Dallas Buyers Club.

Content Film has acquiredThe Dallas Buyers Club for international sales. That puts the picture on track to finally happen, with Matthew McConaughey and Hilary Swank starring, and Jean-Marc Vallee directing. He helmed The Young Victoria, and just wrapped Cafe de Flore. Craig Borten and Melisa Wallack wrote the screenplay. The project has long been a passion of top actors and directors. McConaughey will play a Texas electrician named Ron Woodroof. Given six months to live by his doctors in 1986 after contracting AIDS, he hung on and lived another six years by illegally smuggling medicine into the US. He made sure a lot of other sufferers got them. The spirit of the drama paints a picture at the time of powerful and unyielding bureaucrats at the Food and Drug Administration.

Sounds like a pretty intensive drama, I wonder if McConaughey is up to it. Hilary Swank fits this kind of movie, but I just don’t get the McConaughey factor. Can somebody please explain to me why he’s still in so many movies? Has he gotten better as an actor? I did hear The Lincoln Lawyer was good, but I haven’t checked it out yet.

Kate Hudson & Hilary Swank stop together on the red carpet at Grauman’s Chinese Theatre for the premiere of their latest film Something Borrowed in Los Angeles on May 3rd.

Hudson chose a really beautiful flowing chiffon Versace gown in a soft shade of springtime yellow for the event and Swank, who was producer of the flick, wore a Michael Kors silver embellished top and pants in a pale bisque color.

Hudson told reporters she was drawn to play Darcy because she’s so into herself and wanted to play someone fun.

“She’s so deeply self-centered and she gets to say all the things that nobody else wants to say,” the 32 year-old actress said.

“She’s so all about her and I’d never really played a part like that before. I kind of thought, ‘Well, this is going to be fun.’ ”

More photos of Kate, Hilary and the cast are below. (Read the article)

Here’s someone I never thought would jump on the celebrity designer bandwagon:  Hilary Swank.   She is collaborating with  DMA Designers Management Agency on a line of athletic wear.

According to the company, the idea started as just a T-shirt line that

“would inspire people to hit the gym, but the concept soon evolved into an entire collection.”

So I’m kind of skeptical that any kind of T-shirt could get people to go work out, but I am curious to see Hilary’s designw.  I imagine her aesthetic to be very clean and un-fussy.  I guess we shall soon see!

And oh, by the way – Hilary has also just been nominated for a SAG Award for portraying Betty Ann Waters in Conviction.  Best of luck to her on both fronts!

Hilary Swank looked ridiculously good outside The Late Show With David Letterman on Wednesday.  She appeared on the show to promote her new movie, Conviction.   That dress is fabulous!  Whatever she’s having, I’ll take a double please.

Hilary Swank brought the sexy to the 2010 Oscars red carpet. Wow.  Can you say kinky vixen?  Goodness!  I wasn’t expecting that from her at all!  Hilary has an amazing body, she proves it every year on the red carpet.  But, this one takes the cake.  She couldn’t win Best Dressed, but she certainly made the sexiest appearance by a long shot.

Hilary Swank may be playing world famous woman pilot Amelia Earhart in her new movie, Amelia, but the production company of the film kept her firmly on the ground. Swank had been training for her pilot license but that quickly came to an end.

“I had about 19 hours of flying under my belt, but the insurance policy on the movie was never going to allow me do that,” she said.

“It’s something I take very seriously. I’m not a big sweater, but when I land, my back is drenched. It takes a lot of concentration. It’s really exhilarating.

“You can’t play Amelia Earhart and not learn how to fly. That’s just wrong in every way.”

I love that she decided to take flying lessons in order to play Amelia. She’s right, not learning at least the basics of flying and playing one of the world’s most well known aviators would have been very “wrong”.

I wonder if Angelina Jolie’s movie producers put the same limits on her.

Thoughts: This is a biopic that seems as if it should have come out a long time ago, but I’m glad it’s now since Hilary Swank is playing Amelia. I have minor fears of this movie being boring, but I’m pretty sure it will be good.

Here’s the new poster for the upcoming biopic Amelia starring Hilary Swank and Richard Gere.

This movie does seem like it should have been made 20-30 years sooner, but better late than never.

Hilary Swank was seen shooting a running scene for her latest film, The Resident.  She was hot and sweaty but looked as sexy as ever.  That girl is such amazing shape, it’s put’s those of us in decent shape to shame.  I love her.  She is an amazing talent and I love seeing her work.

The Resident will be out in 2010 and it sounds like an intense flick…..

When a young doctor suspects she may not be alone in her new Brooklyn loft, she learns that her landlord has formed a frightening obsession with her.

Jeffrey Dean Morgan is in this with her and if he’s the landlord, I wouldn’t mind him being obsessed with me!  I am so in love with that guy….YUM!
