Matthew McConaughey Movie 'Dallas Sting' Scrapped Weeks Before Production Was Set to Begin - Find Out Why

Matthew was going to play coach Bill Kinder, who led the team to victories over Australia, Japan and China and finally Italy in the championship game.

According to sources via the outlet, Skydance and the producers received “disturbing allegations surrounding aspects” of the true story on which the drama is based. The investigation caused them to reportedly pull the plug.

A source told THR producers were disappointed, as they “felt the story of the 1984 team and its young women deserved to be told.”

Kaitlyn Dever was cast as the coach’s daughter.

Production reportedly spent a “considerable amount” of effort and money in the audition process to find actual soccer players who could also act, via THR.

Matthew was seen alongside his wife Camila attending an event over the summer.
