AND JUSTICE FOR ALL Adapted Series Based On the 1979 Al Pacino Movie In the Works at Netflix
With the great series The Lincoln Lawyer coming to an end with its fifth season, Netflix is on the lookout for a potential successor in the legal drama space.
One of the hopefuls is And Justice for All, a series based on the 1979 movie starring Al Pacino. The project, now in the works at the streamer, comes from Sony Pictures Television, whose sibling Columbia Pictures distributed the film.
Written by Jeremy Miller and Dan Cohn (That Was Then), And Justice for All is described as a gritty look at an idealistic attorney’s flawed life as he struggles to fight a corrupted legal system until he finally snaps.
The 1979 movie, written by Valerie Curtin and Barry Levinson and directed by Norman Jewison, starred Pacino, Jack Warden and John Forsythe, with Lee Strasberg, Jeffrey Tambor, Christine Lahti, Craig T. Nelson, Thomas Waites and Sam Levene also part of the cast.
Stay tuned for updates on the project as it moves forward.
