After turning down offers for 10 years, John Grisham has finally made a movie deal for his 1999 bestselling novel “The Testament.”
In the novel, a billionaire defies his greedy relatives and leaves his $11 billion fortune to a mysterious illegitimate daughter doing charity work in the Brazilian wetlands. A down-and-out lawyer helps her battle her relatives over the fortune.
Producers Mark Johnson and Hunt Lowry are joining with 821 Entertainment Group to adapt Grisham’s book.
Grisham will also have the right to offer creative input on the film, something which he didn’t always have in the past and was one of the reasons why he’s avoided Hollywood until recently.
