New movie role for Matthew Goode

Matthew has filmed his scenes for a new Indie movie ‘Hal’.  Details from Deadline are below:-

[Credits – as listed by Deadline above]

Written by Mark Edwin Robinson, Hal is inspired by the true story behind the founding of humanitarian organization Convoy of Hope. The story follows Hal Donaldson (Ludwig), a journalist shaped by early hardship who believes his voice is his path forward. When he meets Doree (Roberts), a gifted musician, their relationship becomes the foundation that steadies him as his career takes him to places marked by deep suffering.

As Hal witnesses crisis and inequality firsthand, the line between observing and acting begins to blur. Confronted with the limits of telling stories alone, he is drawn toward a calling that requires more than words — setting in motion the events that lead to the creation of Convoy of Hope.  [Deadline]

The Custom of the Country – filming has finished in Portugal

Matthew Goode has finished filming in Portugal for the movie ‘The Custom of the Country’.

The movie is based on Edith Wharton’s novel of the same name.  Information from the publisher:-

Edith Wharton’s compulsively readable 20th century classic about the conquests of Undine Spragg, the glamorous and insatiable social climber—now with a new introduction by Brandon Taylor.

Undine Spragg is beautiful—anyone in New York will admit to as much. But what is the point of beauty if no one can see you? The Spraggs left the Midwest in search of a glamorous life for their daughter. Now, cooped up in a gilded uptown hotel they can barely afford, they begin to fear their move to the big city was for naught. But Undine is determined. And Undine always gets her way.

What follows is a tactical climb to the pinnacle of affluence and early 20th-century high society that will amaze and mortify. Witty and devasting, The Custom of the Country is an astute comedy of manners and a scathing satire of upper-class life that bites to this day. More than a century after its original publication, Edith Wharton’s 1913 masterpiece remains an un-put-downable showcase for one of the most memorable, controversial anti-heroines in American literature.

The movie also stars (information from IMDb:-
