Variety reports: ""The Grackle," the first film hatched by his j.k. livin' banner. Pic will be produced by McConaughey and his j.k. livin' accomplices Gus and Mark Gustawes.

In the script, by Mike Arnold and Chris Poole, McConaughey plays a barroom fighter in New Orleans who hires himself out for $250 to settle disputes for people who can't afford a lawyer. Harsh language and quick fists are his weapons of choice.

The comedy, which is aiming squarely for the R rating New Line got for "Wedding Crashers," will go into production next year, after McConaughey completes "Ghosts."
