Lionsgate has sent over a brand new teaser poster for the upcoming drama,
The Lincoln Lawyer. Mickey Haller is a Los Angeles criminal defense attorney who operates out of the back of his Lincoln sedan. Haller has spent most of his career defending garden-variety criminals, until he lands the case of his career: defending Louis Roulet, a Beverly Hills playboy accused of rape and attempted murder. But the seemingly straightforward case suddenly develops into a deadly game of survival for Haller.
Brad Furman (The Take) will direct from the adapted screenplay by John Romano (Night in Rodanthe, Intolerable Cruelty). Based on the best-selling novel by
Michael Connelly and with an all-star cast including
Matthew McConaughey, Academy Award winner
Marisa Tomei, Ryan Phillippe, Academy Award nominee
William H. Macy,
John Leguizamo, Josh Lucas and
Michael Peña,
The Lincoln Lawyer will be in theaters nationwide on March 18, 2011.

I’m not sure where the McConaughey hate comes from. Fine, he has chosen a long string of genuinely crap movies, but the guy is undeniably charming (his bit in Tropic Thunder was the highlight of the movie, imo, and his role in Dazed and Confused kind of redeems pretty much everything that followed).
The Lincoln Lawyer movie looks good! I can’t wait to see Matthew McConaughey play Mickey Haller. http://on.fb.me/gUFvA3
