John Grisham's The Rainmaker Gets Series Order At USA Network
USA Network has given a straight-to-series order to an adaptation of the 1995 John Grisham novel The Rainmaker and the 1997 film of the same name. In The Rainmaker, Rudy Baylor, fresh out of law school, “goes head-to-head with courtroom lion Leo Drummond” (as well as his law school girlfriend). Along the way, Rudy, his boss and a disheveled paralegal uncover two connected conspiracies surrounding the mysterious death of their client’s son. The Rainmaker previously was adapted as the aforementioned film written and directed by Francis Ford Coppola and starring Matt Damon (as Rudy) and Danny DeVito (as paralegal Deck).
