Trailer: Tom Cruise IS "Jack Reacher"

[Deberg_1990]

Sweet. Sounds like we might get a sequel. Love this movie. Very low key and a throwback action flick.

EXCLUSIVE: Paramount Pictures and Skydance Productions are moving ahead with a sequel to Jack Reacher, the 2012 film that starred Tom Cruise and is based on Lee Child’s bestselling novel series. A rumor went around that the studio might be trying to squeeze in a Reacher film before Mission: Impossible 5. Paramount has denied that, but I’ve learned it’s trying to fast track another installment. This one will be based on Never Go Back, which was published earlier this fall. In it, Reacher heads back to his old military base in Virginia to take a woman to dinner who is now the commanding officer. By the time he gets there, she has been arrested, and Reacher finds himself being charged with pummeling one guy and fathering a child with a woman. He can’t remember either transgression but gets to the bottom of it with cunning and sometimes brute force.

Good to hear, i thought it was pretty good even though Jack Reacher fans didn't like Cruise it seemed

There is a big reason for not liking Cruise. Jack Reacher was supposed to be a very large guy. Like 6'5 and 240 or something like that. That is one of his main features in the book. He is supposed to be very large and very intimidating. Not 5'7 and 180.

I always thought Dwayne Johnson would have played the perfect Jack Reacher.

If Tom wants a role, Tom gets the role.

I guess you could say him playing the role is a bit of a "Reach"

In all seriousness, I wasn't wowed by the trailers when they first came out, nor did I think it looked terrible- just kinda indifferent and probably just another so so action flick. I was rather surprised by how many people that I would be around when there was a promo for the movie that totally trashed it and thought the movie looked absolutely terrible?
Kinda made me question what I was missing that seemed to turn so many off.

Needless to say, I caught a chance to see it and thought it was done rather well, and think the novel fans that got up in arms by Cruise were rather silly because it wouldn't have been made without box office draw. As much as I love Dwayne Johnson, he's not at the point where he's a real solo box office draw to drive ticket sales typically alone at this point in his career.

I alsways pictured Reacher like this guy
