It’s one of the most anticipated projects of the season, and “Dallas Buyers Club” just dropped a teaser trailer and promotional poster for all to enjoy.

The hard-hitting flick stars Matthew McConaughey, Jared Leto, Jennifer Garner, Steve Zahn, and Dallas Roberts, and has been given a December 6th release date.

Per the synopsis, “This is the story of Texas electrician Ron Woodroof and his battle with the medical establishment and pharmaceutical companies after being diagnosed as HIV-positive in 1986, and his search for alternative treatments that helped established a way in which fellow HIV-positive people could join for access to his supplies.

And given that McConaughey lost a whopping 40 pounds to play the lead role, he’s already rumored to be a favorite at the 2014 Academy Awards!
