Matthew McConaughey will star in The Lincoln Lawyer for Lakeshore Entertainment, reports Variety.
The legal thriller centers on low-level criminal defense attorney Mickey Haller who finds himself representing a wealthy client with ties to a previous murder case Haller handled.
The project is based on a Michael Connolly best-seller that was published in 2005 by Little, Brown.
Stone Village Pictures’ Scott Steindorff is producing alongside Lakeshore principals Tom Rosenberg and Gary Lucchesi.
