By no means an unknown Hollywood name himself, Tommy Lee Jones has worked with some of the biggest names in show-biz, co-starring with such talents as Harrison Ford, Will Smith, and Jim Carrey.

Now, Jones is in talks to share the screen with current Hollywood A-lister Matthew McConaughey in Lakeshore Entertainment’s The Lincoln Lawyer.

The Lincoln Lawyer, based on the 2005 best-selling novel of the same title, is the story of lawyer Mickey Haller, whose office is located in the back of his Lincoln. The cases he represents are generally pretty mundane, until he takes on the case of an L.A. playboy facing murder accusations.

McConaughey has already signed on to play the part of Mickey Haller, but it is as of yet undetermined what role Jones will be taking if he is cast in the film. What is certain, though, is that Jones’s interest in being involved with the film goes beyond being part of the movie’s cast.

Although a veteran actor, Jones is a fledgling director, with only one feature film and a made-for-TV movie under his belt. The current negotiations with Lakeshore Entertainment could potentially lead to Jones not only be cast in The Lincoln Lawyer, but being put at the helm as the film’s director as well.

Despite his minimal directing experience, Jones’s film The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada made its way to the 2005 Cannes Film Festival, and even earned Jones the award for Best Actor at the festival.

While no agreement has been reached between Jones and Lakeshore Entertainment so far, The Lincoln Lawyer would no doubt be an excellent opportunity for Jones to bring the success of his directing debut to the film, and eventually lead to Jones garnering the same level of credibility as a director that he’s earned as an actor.

The people at Twentieth Century Fox are racking their brains in order to make a more updated version of the 1988 film Heathers. The original starred Winona Ryder and Christian Slater and was directed by Michael Lehmann (Because I Said So). The story centers around a girl who half-heartedly tries to be part of the “in crowd” of her school meets a rebel who teaches her a more devious way to play social politics.

Fox plans to twist around the story and expand it into a TV series of sorts. They work along with Lakeshore Entertainment who currently hold onto the rights. Sex and the City producer Jenny Bicks hops on board helping out script writer Mark Rizzo put together the eighties film onto the small screen. If you are curious as to how the original goes, here’s the trailer below.
