John Grisham has been one of America's most beloved novelists since 1989. His books have sold over 250 million copies globally. The mass of his books, in actual fact 17 in all, are legal fiction however he has authored four non-legal fiction writings and one non-fiction book. As of this writing there have been ten films made from his work with one in the works.
His 2nd book, "The Firm", was the earliest story to be completed into a film back in 1993. In this picture, starring Tom Cruise, Jeanne Tripplehorn and Gene Hackman, a youthful Harvard Law School graduate begins working at a rather underhanded Memphis law firm. In that same year of 1993, a second John Grisham story to movie came out, "The Pelican Brief" starring Julia Roberts and Denzel Washington.
In 1994, "The Client" was released. In this movie a young boy inadvertently witnesses a suicide and he is as a result chased by the mob for what they think the dying man may have confided in him. "The Client" starred Susan Sarandon, Tommy Lee Jones and the late Brad Renfro.
Grisham's very first novel, and some may say his most excellent book, was "A Time To Kill". This story was made into a motion picture in 1996 and it introduced an up and coming new performer in the lead character, Matthew McConaughey. It also starred Sandra Bullock, Samuel L. Jackson and Kevin Spacey. Also from the year 1996 was "The Chamber" starring Chris O'Donnell, Gene Hackman and Faye Dunaway.
In 1997, "The Rainmaker" starring Matt Damon as a rookie attorney who takes on the case of a boy denied medical treatment by a authoritative insurance corporation. In 1998, the only picture from Grisham that was based upon an non published manuscript was released, "The Gingerbread Man" starring Kenneth Branagh and Robert Downey, Jr.
Of the four non-legal fiction books by Grisham, 2 have been turned into films, "A Painted House" in 2003 and the holiday favorite, "Christmas with the Kranks" starring Tim Allen and Jamie Lee Curtis and adapted from the book "Skipping Christmas".
In 2003, "The Runaway Jury" came out, starring Gene Hackman, Dustin Hoffman, John Cusack and Rachel Weisz. "The Associate", which was just released in January 2009, is planned to be a movie release in the year 2012.
Grisham has absolutely been one of the most accepted and fertile novelists in the recent past. With twenty-two writings out and another intended for November 2009, 10 films and another planned for 2012, he has never failed to entertain us. If you happened to overlook any of these splendid films you can now download them straight to your computer to see right away on your computer, TV or even your iPhone.
