George Clooney curls up with a Grisham! Specifically, THE INNOCENT MAN: MURDER AND INJUSTICE IN A SMALL TOWN!
Ahoy, squirts! Quint here with a bit of news from the world of George Clooney. The man doesn't take a moment to rest, it seems. He has optioned the John Grisham nonfiction book THE INNOCENT MAN: MURDER AND INJUSTICE IN A SMALL TOWN along with his partner in crime, Grant Heslov.
The book is about a real man in Oklahoma that was sent to death row for 11 years for a murder he did not commit and the real kicker is the man who did commit the murder gave eye-witness testimony against the innocent man. Yikes. It's been a while since we've seen a courtroom drama (that didn't involve bad CGI demons)... and since that West Memphis Three movie with John Cusack seems to have dropped off the face of the earth, we'll just have to wait for this one. What do you folks think?

I was FIRST again. Sounds like an interesting story, could be a good Grisham movie.
-
Love a good courtroom drama!!
-
beat you to it!
-
Grisham's novels are not my kind of reading, but they've made some great movies. just saw A Time to Kill the other day on TV, still holds up. I hope this is as good as Runaway Jury was, I loved that movie. a good old fashioned drama, with great acting all around.

There really aren't enough grisham movies already released. Thank you George Clooney!
-

What exactly is the courtroom drama with bad CGI demons Quint is talking about? The only courtoom drama with aome kind of demons in it that I can recall in recent years is THE EXORCISM OF EMILY ROSE, and that was an excellent film.
-
Will John Grisham blame Oliver Stone or Natural Born Killers for this travesty of justice?
-
...that the courtroom drama with the bad CGI demons was "The Devil's Advocate". Yeah, they were pretty bad.
-
Gotta be Ghostbusters II!
-
It was part courtroom drama, and had demons in it. Although I thought it was a solid film and liked the CGI (If i'm right about the film)
-
..he's actually that intimidating without effects, and a 'Few Good Men' was a fantastic film!
-
for his movie website is upset at the michael bay guy.
-
clooney would be good here.
who would be better?

Just got back from Vegas and I lost my ass. What can I say?
-
so there!

It's hard to shake up this sub-genre of mystery/suspense. I am waiting for the talented filmmaker who can show us a fresh take with this type of story. You're basically competing against the weekly Law and Order TV franchise.

you sonofbitch!! When is Georgie boy gonna remake a Tomatoes movie? Oceans 23:Ensemble of the Killer Tomatoes...
-
We'll have to wait for a 'serious' periodical to provide us with more information before we can form an opinion.
-
Just finished it. Very good book. It will piss you off what these small town fucks did. One of the main assholes of the book who wrongfully prosecuted a bunch of innocent people is actually still a D.A. in the area.
I'd be curious to see how the movie handles the ending though. Plus the main character is not all that likeable. You do feel terrible for what he went through though.
