ABC Developing "The Lincoln Lawyer" Series
ABC Developing "The Lincoln Lawyer" Series
Aug 9, 2011 by Joyce Eng ABC is adapting the Michael Connelly novel-turned-movie into a drama series, Variety reports. Connelly will co-write the pilot with John Romano, who penned the film. The movie, which opened in March and got a warm critical but tepid box-office reception (grossing $58 million domestically), starred Matthew McConaughey as criminal defense lawyer Mickey Haller who lands the case of his career. Ryan Phillippe, Marisa Tomei and William H. Macy co-starred. The film took its name from the title of the first book in Connelly's Haller series; there are four novels in total, the most recent of which was published in April. Haller is the half-brother of Connelly's most well-known character, Detective Hieronymus "Harry" Bosch. Should "The Lincoln Lawyer" go to series, Connelly ought to feel right at home at ABC. He occasionally drops by "Castle" as himself — a guest at Castle's mystery writers poker nights. http://www.tvguide.com/News/Lincoln-...C-1036240.aspx |
