Sony Pictures’ “White Boy Rick,” starring Matthew McConaughey, Richie Merritt, Bel Powley, and Jennifer Jason Leigh, will now be released wide Sept. 21, a month after its original release date of Aug. 17.
The movie will also get a limited release on Sept. 14. This marks the second time “White Boy Rick” was delayed; it was previously pushed back eight months from Jan. 26.

Darren Aronofsky serves as a producer on the project.
