In 1996,\u00a0Matthew McConaughey<\/strong> played white savior lawyer\u00a0Jake Brigance in Joel Schumacher\u2019s\u00a0A Time to Kill<\/em>, a film based on the novel by John Grisham. Now McConaughey will play the character yet again, reprising the Brigance role for the HBO series<\/a>\u00a0A Time for Mercy<\/em><\/strong>. The series is based on yet another Grisham novel \u2013 actually the third Grisham book to feature the Jake Brigance character \u2013 and has the lawyer defending a\u00a0sixteen-year-old boy accused of murdering a local cop in a town in\u00a0Mississippi.<\/p>\n

Variety<\/a> is reporting that Matthew McConaughey will reprise the role of Jake Brigance for\u00a0A Time for Mercy<\/em>, a new HBO series based on the novel by John Grisham. McConaughey previously played the character in another Grisham adaptation \u2013 1996\u2019s\u00a0A Time to Kill<\/em>, directed by Joel Schumacher. There, Brigance was a lawyer defending a Black man named\u00a0Carl Lee Hailey (played by Samuel L. Jackson), who was on trial in\u00a0Canton, Mississippi, for murdering the racist rapists who sexually assaulted his young daughter.
\nIn Grisham\u2019s novel\u00a0A Time for Mercy<\/em>, Brigance is now defending a teenager accused of murdering a cop. Here\u2019s the book\u2019s synopsis:<\/p>\n

Clanton, Mississippi. 1990. Jake Brigance finds himself embroiled in a deeply divisive trial when the court app<\/a>oints him attorney for Drew Gamble, a timid sixteen-year-old boy accused of murdering a local deputy. Many in Clanton want a swift trial and the death penalty, but Brigance digs in and discovers that there is more to the story than meets the eye. Jake\u2019s fierce commitment to saving Drew from the gas chamber puts his career, his financial security, and the safety of his family on the line.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The book was published last year and is actually the third Grisham book to feature the Brigance character (the other is\u00a0Sycamore Row<\/em>). According to the report, there are no writers attached to the\u00a0A Time for Mercy<\/em> series. All we know is that McConaughey is reprising the Brigance role, and that\u00a0Lorenzo Di Bonaventura is executive producing.<\/p>\n

While I don\u2019t think anyone has thought about\u00a0A Time to Kill<\/em> in a long, long time, it\u2019s interesting to see McConaughey returning to this role, and for an HBO series to boot. I\u2019m guessing this is going to be a limited series with a one-and-done series, similar to HBO\u2019s recent\u00a0The Undoing<\/em>, which was adapted from the novel by\u00a0You Should Have Known<\/em> by Jean Hanff Korelitz. Deadline adds that the show is expected to be \u201c8-10 episodes.\u201d<\/p>\n
