Jason Bateman to direct Tom Holland in ‘The Partner’

Jason Bateman is set to direct ‘The Partner’, an adaptation of John Grisham’s novel, with Tom Holland in talks to star as an attorney faking his death for $90 million. This long-stalled project, now at Universal, marks a return to Grisham adaptations, a genre once popular before superhero films. Bateman and Holland are also set to executive produce.
