Hancock Catches The Partner

John Lee Hancock ("The Blind Side," "The Rookie") will both write and direct a film adaptation of John Grisham's best-selling book The Partner reports Deadline.

The story penned in '05 follows Patrick Lanigan, a young partner in a white shoe Biloxi law firm with a wife and newborn daughter. Trapped in a burning car one night, he died, leaving behind only ashes. But Lanigan is disillusioned enough by his life to fake his death and steal $90 million from his firm. He just has to hope the wrong people don’t catch up with him as he goes on the run.

Arnon Milchan will produce the pic, making this his fourth Grisham based film after "A Time To Kill," "The Client" and "Runaway Jury".
