" I can't just sit down and force A Story to happen, " Grisham told The Breakfast .
" I have to be inspired. . to write The Novel . In the meantime, there are so many other books to write. I kept thinking about Mitch and how much fun it would be to bring him back. I had no idea it would take so long. "
But will Cruise reprise his role as Mitch?
" I hope so - it's not in The Works yet, " Grisham told The Breakfast .
" If Tom wants to do it, it will be done. If Tom doesn't want to do it, it probably won't be done. "
Innocent peopleThe fascination with crime and Legal Drama was because " we have an addiction to violence" and people " love big sensational trials" Grisham told The Breakfast .
But he was " more pessimistic" about the legal system today.
" For The Past 15 years, I've served on two boards dedicated to exonerating innocent people who are in Prison , " Grisham told The Breakfast .
" I've come to realise there are are thousands of innocent people in Prison - They all go back to a bad verdict. "
