Matthew McConaughey, Kate Beckinsale, Henry Golding to Star in Guy Ritchie's TOFF GUYS

Matthew McConaughey, Kate Beckinsale, and "Crazy Rich Asians" actor Henry Golding are set to star in Guy Ritchie's British crime drama, "Toff Guys," according to Variety.

Ritchie will direct and produce the film from a script he wrote with Marn Davies and Ivan Atkinson.

The story explores the collision between European "old money" and the modern marijuana industry. It follows a British drug lord attempting to cash out on his highly profitable EMPIRE by selling it off to a DYNASTY of Oklahoma billionaires.

Miramax paid $30 million to pick up worldwide rights to the drama at the Cannes Film Festival. Production is set to start this fall in England. Bob Osher and Matthew Anderson will be supervising on behalf of Miramax.

Oscar winner McConaughey can be seen next in "Serenity" with Anne Hathaway, and then Harmony Korine's "The Beach Bum."

Golding is having a massive year following his breakthrough role in the Warner Bros. hit "Crazy Rich Asians." He followed that up with Lionsgate's "A Simple Favor." It was recently announced he will star alongside Emilia Clarke in Universal's "Last Christmas."

Beckinsale was most recently seen in "Farming", and just signed on to Charlie Day's "El Tonto."
