Watch the new 'The Lincoln Lawyer' trailer

It took a while for this one to come together, but "The Lincoln Lawyer" is now finally on track for a release March 18, 2011. Matthew McConaughey stars in the thriller directed by Brad Furman. Trailer above.

Looks quite intense without revealing all too much at the same time, which I appreciate. Plus, the casting looks pretty solid as well. Marisa Tomei looks amazing, and Ryan Phillippe and William H. Macy co-star.

The film follows a pretty confident lawyer (McConaughey) who works out of the back of his Lincoln and picks up his biggest case yet when he agrees to defend a Beverly Hills playboy accused of murder.
