After making his directorial debut for the 2014 historical thriller, 71 (starring Jack O’Connell), French director Yann Demange is turning to the FBI in a based-on-a-true-story drama, titled White Boy Rick.

Matthew McConaughey will also be co-starring as Wershe Jr’s, father as blue collar worker struggling to provide for his family and Jennifer Jason Leigh is playing one of the FBI agents responsible for recruiting the teenager.
