NBC, oh how just yesterday I said, “YOU SUCK!” and today I am telling you, “YOU ROCK!” What a VIOLATILE relationship we have! Ha! In what is the most EXCITING news since the invention of the Easy Bake Oven, NBC has landed movie star Josh Lucas to star in The Firm based on John Grisham’s best-selling novel. HOLLERRRRRRR!!!

Lucas will star as attorney Mitchell McDeere (the role originated by Tom Cruise in the film) in the series, which picks up McDeere’s story about a decade after the events of the novel and film.


For those of you who are unfamiliar with The Firm it is based on the blockbuster feature film and the best-selling novel of 1991 by world-renowned author John Grisham. The Firm continues the story of attorney Mitchell McDeere (Lucas) who, as a young associate, brought down the prestigious Memphis law firm of Bendini, Lambert & Locke, which operated as a front for the Chicago mob. After a difficult decade, which included a stay in the Federal Witness Protection program, McDeere and his family now emerge from isolation to reclaim their lives and their future — only to find that past dangers are still lurking and new threats are everywhere.

OMG! I CAN’T WAIT! I’ve loved Josh Lucas since Sweet Home Alabama and I am BEYOND EXCITED to see him each week in what is a GREAT… well PERFECT role for him! Good job, NBC! WERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRK!!!
