Reports have emerged that Hollywood actor Andrew Garfield is negotiating to take on a significant role in the historical drama 'The Rage'.

The film, set during the infamous Peasants' Revolt of 1381, will be directed by Paul Greengrass. Garfield is expected to replace Matthew McConaughey, who recently withdrew from the project.
