Album review
According to reports by Deadline, Tom Holland has signed on to star and produce The Partner, a drama based on the John Grisham 1997 bestseller which The Imitation Game’s Graham Moore is scripting.
When Grisham wrote this book, he was getting $8 million for film rights to compulsively readable thrillers that made great vehicles for stars and directors. As a result, Matthew McConaughey, Sandra Bullock and Sam Jackson were able to find success in A Time To Kill, as well as Tom Cruise (The Firm), Matt Damon and Claire Danes (The Rainmaker), Tommy Lee Jones and Susan Sarandon (The Client), Denzel Washington and Julia Roberts in The Pelican Brief, and John Cusack, Gene Hackman, and Rachel Weisz in The Runaway Jury.
The lawyers-in-distress sagas written by Grisham will be tested by Holland. Holland’s dance card filled up quickly after a year-long hiatus from acting following his grueling role in the series The Crowded Room as a multiple personality sufferer. In Christopher Nolan’s follow-up to Oppenheimer, The Odyssey, he stars alongside Zendaya, Matt Damon, Rob Pattinson, Anne Hathaway, Lupita Nyong’o and Charlize Theron. With his fourth Spider-Man film coming out, Holland will likely play the wall crawler in the two Avengers films Joe & Anthony Russo are developing.
