Tommy Lee Jones circles 'Lincoln Lawyer'
Tommy Lee Jones is in talks to direct and star in Matthew McConaughey's The Lincoln Lawyer, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

The Lakeshore Entertainment project, which is based on Michael Connolly's 2005 bestseller, follows the story of low-level criminal defence attorney Mickey Haller (McConaughey), who finds himself looking after a Beverly Hills playboy accused of murder.

John Romano (The Beast, Monk) is penning the script.

It is not confirmed what role Jones would play in the project. His single directing credit is the critically acclaimed 2005 crime drama The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada.
