It's a good thing too because it would be a travesty if anyone ever sullied the integrity of a John Grisham novel. It turns out that the reason we haven't seen any Grisham movies lately (unlike the 90s when there seemed to be one-per-year) is because he put a moratorium on the adaptations with one of his reasons being his lack of creative input on adaptations of his work creative input he'll now have for "The Testament". A down-and-out lawyer (who else) helps her battle her relatives over the fortune. I cannot find the answer to that question in the Variety article which reports that 821 Entertainment will adapt Grisham's 1999 book, "The Testament" which is about a billionaire leaving his fortune to his illigetimate daughter (who does charity work in the Brazilian wetlands and probably makes Jesus feel insecure about his deeds) instead of his greedy relatives. He is also eccentric, reclusive, confined to a wheelchair, and looking for a way to die. Troy Phelan is a self-made billionaire, one of the richest men in the U.S. That's the plan, right? Make people remember the roaring 90s with silly adaptations of Grisham's substance-free airplane reads? No? Then.why? Reviews arent verified, but Google checks for and removes fake content when its identified. Just because studios start adapting John Grisham books into movies again, no one is going to start thinking it's the 90s.
