ARmy Rumour SErvice

Just watched the trailer , Oh dear .

It was careful to say it was based on Jack Reacher stories so maybe a badly hashed storyline, rather than the story of One Shot . Why is it called Jack Reacher ? Has this fucked up the chance of more Reacher books being filmed ?

If I was going to film a Reacher book it would probably be Killing Floor or Tripwire

This is the Films etc. thread? This is an upcoming film. I think the casting is bone.

Already two threads on this.

Strange Character Casting

The worst film casting ever

Maybe the next film could be called "Reacheround".

Translation of the text in Red: "Whoooooohooooo boy have they give me a shit load of money! Kenny Baker can play him for all I care. Say anyone know if they make yachts out of solid gold and where all whores at?".

Blue text: "We have given the Author a Boatload of money."

Ok, so I'm an idle twat and didn't check. Mind you at least this thread title is pretty clear for future searches.

I'd rather have Kenny Baker play Reacher.

There arem't many actors who could physically match up to the role...maybe Gerard Butler would have been good? Liam Neeson and Tommy Lee Jones are too old and Stephen Seagal is too wank and not sardonic enough to be Jack.

I've read all the Reacher books and I like them. They're an easy read. Some are better than others. But the one thing they do have in common is a main character who is FUCKING MASSIVE, and uses his size and strength to get out of certain situations.

Tom Cruise playing him? Nah, not for me.

And Lee Child saying that Tom Cruise had the presence to play Jack Reacher on screen. Only because they gave him truckloads of cash and chang, and did fucking wonders with sizing down the Hobbits in Lord of The Rings and he thought they could reverse the process for Tiny Tom.

Agree an exact replica would be difficult, but pretty-boy Cruise FFS?
