The Hollywood Reporter has exclusively learned that actor Michael Landes will appear in the Matthew McConaughey mining drama Gold. The Stephen Gaghan-directed film will star McConaughey and Edgar Ramirez in a story based on the real-life Bre-X scandal, about a massive stock fraud involving an Indonesian gold mine. Landes will play a Wall Street banker who travels to the mine to assess the company behind it. The Weinstein Company purchased the U.S. rights for $15 million this spring, with a marketing spend valued at $20 million.
