Matthew McConaughey to replay Right to Kill in HBO sequel
It is one of his very first films in the cinema. In The Right to Kill, the young Matthew McConaughey in 1996 played a supporting role at the bar, behind Sandra Bullock and Samuel L. Jackson, in this judicial thriller directed by Joel Schumacher. A performance that made his career take off. And 25 years later, he will return to play Jake Brigance in the sequel, currently being developed for HBO. This series will therefore not be a remake of the original film, adapted from John Grisham, but the adaptation of the next volume A Time for Mercy, which was published last year.

This book is, for the moment, centered on the lawyer Jake Brigance – which was not the case of A Time to Kill ( The Right to Kill ). Brigance will be found defending a young man who is accused of killing his mother’s boyfriend, a deputy sheriff who the young man said was violent towards them. No author is currently attached to the project, but Lorenzo di Bonaventura ( Transformers ) will be the executive producer.
