Jennifer Garner is in talks to join former Ghosts of Girlfrined’s Past co-star Matthew McConaughey in 1980s AIDS drama The Dallas Buyers Club. The film has been in development for a long time and once had Hilary Swank attached to star in the role of a doctor, with Garner now set to take over. The film focuses on the attempts of an AIDS- afflicted electrician (McConaughey) to illegally smuggle potentially lifesaving medicine in America.

Matthew McConaughey has recently lost a shocking amount of weight for the role, transforming himself into a gaunt shadow of the hunky physique he showed off in his Magic Mike male stripper role. Casting continues with Young Victoria Director Jean-Marc Vallee helming the project
