Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT John Grisham's novel The Rainmaker is becoming a TV show, after previously being adapted into the 1997 film starring Matt Damon. Grisham was the hottest writer in Hollywood in the 1990s, when adaptations of his legal thrillers The Pelican Brief, The Firm, The Client and A Time to Kill all went on to be hit movies.
“Fresh out of law school, Rudy Baylor goes head-to-head with courtroom lion Leo Drummond as well as his law school girlfriend. Rudy, along with his boss and her disheveled paralegal, uncover two connected conspiracies surrounding the mysterious death of their client’s son.” It will be difficult for USA’s Rainmaker show to impress critics as much as the 1997 movie, which boasted heavyweight talent both in front of and behind the camera. At the same time, the factors that held back the movie’s box office are no longer in play as the novel makes its way to the small screen. Grisham fatigue had arguably set in by 1997, hurting the movie’s box office prospects, but that is no longer a problem.
