A Popular American Novelist’s Stories That Were Turned Into Films
One of America's most beloved writers is John Grisham. Since 1989, his books have sold over 250 million copies globally. He has written 17 legal fiction works with a new legal fiction due out in November 2009, 4 non-legal fiction books and one non-fiction book. There have been 10 films made from his stories so far with a new projected in 2012.
His 2nd book, "The Firm", was the first story to be made into a film back in 1993. In this movie, starring Tom Cruise, Jeanne Tripplehorn and Gene Hackman, a youthful Harvard Law School graduate begins working at a rather suspicious Memphis law firm. In that same year of 1993, a second John Grisham story to film came out, "The Pelican Brief" starring Julia Roberts and Denzel Washington.
"The Client" starring the now deceased Brad Renfro, Susan Sarandon and Tommy Lee Jones was released in 1994. This movie follows the course of a adolescent boy who by accident witnesses a suicide and is consequently pursued by the mob for information they think he learned from the dying man.
The very first story authored by Grisham was made into a motion picture in 1996. "A Time to Kill" introduced the planet to an up and coming new actor, as it was one of Matthew McConaughey's first chief roles. Also starring Sandra Bullock, Samuel L. Jackson and Kevin Spacey. "The Chamber" starring Chris O'Donnell, Gene Hackman and Faye Dunaway also came out in 1996.
Matt Damon took the lead role in "The Rainmaker" in 1997. He played a brand new attorney who takes on a influential insurance company on behalf of a boy denied medical treatment. In 1998, "The Gingerbread Man" starring Kenneth Branagh and Robert Downey, Jr. came out. This is the only Grisham motion picture that you will not be able to find as a book because it came from an unpublished manuscript.
Of the four non-legal fiction stories by Grisham, 2 have been made into movies, "A Painted House" in 2003 and the holiday favorite, "Christmas with the Kranks" starring Tim Allen and Jamie Lee Curtis and adapted from the storyline "Skipping Christmas".
"The Runaway Jury" came out in 2003. This film starred Gene Hackman, Dustin Hoffman, John Cusack and Rachel Weisz. Grisham's 21st book, "The Associate", just released as a book in January 2009, will be released as a show in 2012.
With 22 books and another projected in November 2009, 10 movies and another projected in 2012, John Grisham has been one of the most creative and famous writers in modern time. You can now download the any of the movies that you missed and watch right from your computer or TV set.
