John Grisham's Time to Kill

Sutherland wanted Lushion to be way more of a drunk and shoe mocker vetoed it, which is why we ended up in No Man's Land. Matthew McConaughey auditioned for Eddie Lee Cobb, one of the guys who gets killed. He lobbied hard with Joel Schumacher and the rest was history. The movie plot came from 1984. John Grisham had said he witnessed the harrowing testimony of a 12-year-old rape victim. And that was how he ended up doing a time to kill.
