Matthew McConaughey ‘furious’ after Serenity becomes biggest flop of his career

Serenity actors Matthew McConaughey and Anne Hathaway are “furious” with its distributors after the film marked the biggest flop of their careers to date.

The Oscar-winning stars and its director, Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight, were reportedly troubled when they realised that Aviron Pictures were suspending all prints and advertising spend just before boarding a plane to Los Angeles for the US press junket.

According to Deadline, sources claimed that a paltry nine TV adverts aired at times slots that would not have helped create buzz for the film, which has received negative – if entertaining – reviews since its release.

The site reports that McConaughey is particularly angry “over feeling like he was duped” about the film’s promised publicity rollout.
