33. Tom Cruise Confirmed to Play Jack Reacher in ‘One Shot’

The good news: a film based on one of the great Jack Reacher books by Lee Child is really going to happen, after years and years of development on various titles in the series that will number 16 novels when The Affair is released this fall. The bad news (perhaps): Jack Reacher, written as a six and a half-foot, sandy-haired slab of a man, will definitely be played by Tom Cruise in Christopher McQuarrie‘s One Shot.

This is a confirmation of word that came down a months ago. Paramount has had Christopher McQuarrie developing One Shot since this time last year; he wrote the latest draft of the script and will direct. And now Cruise, who starred in the McQuarrie-penned Valkyrie, is going to step into Reacher’s massive shoes and disposable clothes.

As was obvious last time I covered this casting possibility, I hate the idea. I think Tom Cruise is wrong for the character in many different ways. The physical difference between he and the version of Jack Reacher on the page is something I can dismiss; it’s a question of the actor being able to capture and develop the character’s quiet capability and confidence. Reacher is a far cry from the brash and brazen Cruise.

But this is happening, so that’s the last I’ll say about it. Even with the issues in casting I’m excited at the idea of seeing a Reacher project being made top priority at a studio. If the movie is good, that’ll be the only important thing in the long run.
