Bryce Dallas Howard has signed on for her first role after the box office juggernaut Jurassic World, with Deadline reporting that the actress has secured the female lead in the mining drama Gold alongside Matthew McConaughey.
According to the site, Howard will play “Kay, the longtime girlfriend of McConaughey’s character, who has supported him through thick and thin, but whose capacity and loyalty are tested as the hunt for gold pushes their relationship to its breaking point: He teams with an equally luckless geologist to execute a grandiose, last-ditch effort to find gold deep in the uncharted jungle of Indonesia.
Stephen Gaghan is directing Gold, while McConaughey and Howard are joined in the cast by Corey Stoll, Toby Kebbell, Bruce Greenwood and Stacy Keach.
