Matthew McConaughey Reunites With True Detective Creator for Mike Hammer Movie
and True Detective creator Nic Pizzolatto are reuniting for a new Mike Hammer movie. McConaughey played Detective Rustin 'Rust' Cohle alongside Woody Harrelson as Detective Martin 'Marty' Hart in the first season of HBO's True Detective show, which premiered in January 2014. The show earned by McConaughey and Harrelson Emmy nominations for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series. Now, per Deadline, Pizzolatto and McConaughey are reuniting for a new Skydance feature film that will be based on the Mike Hammer book series. The script for the film was written by Pizzolatto, while a director is not yet attached to the project. Entertainment 360's Guymon Casady and Pendleton's Benjamin Forkner serve as producers alongside David Ellison, Dana Goldberg, Don Granger, and Ken F. Levin. Max Allan Collins is an executive producer, while Jane Spillane is a co-producer. Created by Mickey Spillane, Mike Hammer is a private investigator character who debuted in the 1947 book I, the Jury. He has since appeared in numerous books and short stories, with Collins taking over the series following Spillane's death. There have been a handful of Mike Hammer films in the past, including two adaptations of I, the Jury, one of which was released in 1953 and one in 1982. Others include 1955's Kiss Me Deadly, 1957's My Gun Is Quick, and 1963's The Girl Hunters. While McConaughey hasn't been in a live-action movie since 2019's The Gentlemen, he's got a couple of them coming out in the near future. The Rivals of Amziah King held its world premiere at the 2025 SXSW Festival and received rave reviews from critics, though a release date has not yet been set. He's also starring in Paul Greengrass' The Lost Bus, which arrives this coming fall. Pizzolatto and McConaughey's Mike Hammer movie does not have a release date at this time.
