If you've ever wanted to see Matthew McConaughey as a balding, sweaty, ambitious prospector, then the first trailer for based-on-truth tale Gold will deliver all that you need, you weirdo. Take a look below.

Stephen Gaghan's latest film, which has a script from Patrick Massett and John Zinman, tells the story of the 1993 Bre-X Corporation mining scandal. The plot follows a rough-around-the-edges prospector Kenny Wells (McConaughey) who stumbles upon one of the largest gold mines in the world in the Indonesian jungle.

Wells is seemingly made for life, but his haul soon attracts attention, and things spiral into a mess involving Wall Street, the FBI and the Indonesian military.

Names have been changed for this one, but the story still promises to be a ripe one. Gold also features Edgar Ramirez, Bryce Dallas Howard, Toby Kebbell and Corey Stoll. It'll hit US cinemas on Christmas Day, but we'll have to wait in the UK as there's no planned date here yet.
