Lionsgate Acquires The Lincoln Lawyer Starring Matthew McConaughey
The Lincoln Lawyer has found a studio home to set up practice in. Lionsgate announced they’ve picked up the US distribution rights, and Lakeshore Entertainment’s acquired international rights, to the legal thriller based on Michael Connelly’s bestselling novel. Matthew McConaughey and Marisa Tomei (The Wrestler) will star, with Brad Furman (The Take) directing from a screenplay by John Romano (Nights in Rodanthe).
Ryan Phillippe, William H. Macy, John Leguizamo, Michael Pena, Trace Adkins, and Katherine Moennig are also signed on to The Lincoln Lawyer.
Lionsgate provided this synopsis of the film: “Mickey Haller (McConaughey) is a Los Angeles criminal defense attorney who operates out of the back of his Lincoln Continental sedan. Haller has spent most of his career defending garden-variety criminals, until he lands the case of a lifetime: defending a Beverly Hills playboy accused of murder. But the seemingly straightforward case suddenly develops into a deadly game of survival for Haller.”
The Lincoln Lawyer will shoot in Los Angeles in July.

Brad Paisley knocks Matthew McConaughey’s Kissing Skills
People reported Brad Paisley gave a little lip to presenter Matthew McConaughey when he accepted the top male vocalist award at Sunday night’s Academy of Country Music Awards.
“By the way, my wife (actress Kimberly Williams-Paisley) says “hi,” the “water” singer told McConaughey. “She loved playing your wife in We Are Marshall. But she says I’m a better kisser.”
McConaughey laughed it off, then Paisley reconsidered as he thought “they didn’t have any kissing scenes in that movie, So I have no idea how she knows that.”
McConaughey apparently didn’t mind the playful slam. What a good sport.
