Tommy Lee Jones is in negotiations to both direct and co-star in an adaptation of Michael Connelly's 2005 bestseller The Lincoln Lawyer says The Hollywood Reporter.The story centers on Mickey Haller (Matthew McConaughey), a wheeler-dealer Los Angeles lawyer who operates out of the back of his Lincoln. Haller is content with a career defending garden-variety criminals until he lands the case of a lifetime: defending a Beverly Hills playboy accused of murder.
Jones' on screen role is not yet as the second male lead, the playboy, is a considerably younger character than Jones
John Romano penned the screenplay.
Jones last directorial effort, The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada, is a great piece of film--therefore I expect this pic to be as good
