Going For the Emmy .......which a lot of people think he has already, um......... 25 years after playing the role that helped launch his career in A Time To Kill, Matthew McConaughey may be getting ready to make his return to the courtroom. Sources tell Deadline, HBO has acquired the rights to the John Grisham novel, A Time For Mercy, the sequel to Grisham’s classic novel, and are developing it as a limited series with McConaughey in final negotiations to reprise the role of defense attorney, Jake Brigance. Sources say the series would be 8-10 episodes with Lorenzo di Bonaventura, who served as Warner Bros. exec in the 90s when A Time to Kill was greenlit, is on to produce.

"A Time to Kill" might be my favorite McConaughey performance. So I'm very excited for this.

I thought Samuel L Jackson was easily the best thing about A Time To Kill. McConaughey was fine, but nothing special. He's obviously grown significantly as an actor since then, so I could see him doing something much more interesting with the role this time around.
The "McConnisance" came to a pretty swift and brutal end for McConaughey and he's not captured the same form or project selection for a few years now, but that run he had was legendary. Here's hoping this series might reignite another run from him.
