The first official trailer of Stillwater is out and superstar Matt Damon plays a roughneck from Oklahoma who travels to Marseilles to try to exonerate his daughter. The film also stars Abigail Breslin and Camille Cottin.
McCarthy co-wrote the Stillwater screenplay with Marcus Hinchey, Thomas Bidegain, and Noé Debré. The director is also a producer on the project along with Steve Golin, Jonathan King, and Liza Chasin.
The movie follows an American oil-rig roughneck from Oklahoma who travels to Marseille to visit his estranged daughter, in prison for a murder she claims she did not commit.
Confronted with language barriers, cultural differences, and a complicated legal system, Bill builds a new life for himself in France as he makes it his personal mission to exonerate his daughter.
The movie was originally scheduled for release last fall, but the pandemic caused the movie to be delayed until this summer. Focus Features has set Stillwater for theatrical release on July 30, 2021.
