The seventh and eighth “Mission: Impossible” movies will film back to back and will once again be directed by “Rogue Nation” and “Fallout” helmer Christopher McQuarrie. “The size of Reacher is really, really important and it’s a big component of who he is.”įollowing the worldwide success of “Mission: Impossible – Fallout,” Paramount Pictures announced it was moving ahead on two additional films in the long-running action series. But ultimately the readers are right,” Child said last year. “I really enjoyed working with Cruise. He’s a really, really nice guy.

Part of the reason Child ended Cruise’s “Jack Reacher” film series is because he agreed with reader complaints that Cruise did not look anything like the character Child wrote in his books. He’s a terrific guy, very considerate, good fun.” He’s 57, he needs to move on, transition to being a character actor. He could get another 20 years out of it. It sounds extremely patronizing but I think it’s good for him. “He had his own investment in it, he was going to argue against it.

#ACTRESS IN JACK REACHER MOVIE#
I find this movie highly rewatchable, and think the naysayers should give it a chance.Will Smith Tried and Failed to Do More Hours of Press Than Tom Cruise: He's Like a 'Cyborg' Again, his performance hit all the right notes and the fight scenes were set up and directed and edited in such a way that Cruise’s size didn’t diminish those scenes. I never found any of the action scenes problematic because of TC’s size. It’s actually more interesting to have such a tough character be relatively small, because it sets up occasions on which he takes his enemies by surprise because they’ve underestimated him. (2) In a sense I actually don’t like the fact that Child made JR a huge guy, because then he’s /expected/ to be tough and dominant. Filmically speaking, nobody’s ever seen Jack before, so I think the basic factors of scripting, directing and acting are far more important than Child’s verbal description of a fictional person’s appearance.įact is, Cruise turned in a dynamic performance. It was only at that point that I began reading online about the character, and then of course saw the vitriol over the casting issue.įor those who hate having Cruise in this role, in the interest of fairness consider two things: (1) While Child frequently mentions Jack’s physical presence, it ‘s not the same as having seen an actual Jack Reacher in real life, or as portrayed earlier by a large actor.

That, plus my consistent liking for TC’s films, made me want to go see it. What immediately seized my interest in the character were these lines: I didn’t know jack squat about Jack Reacher until I started seeing ads for the TC movie. I’ve always been a Tom Cruise fan I think he’s a very underrated actor. But I will hope for other, more realistic depictions of Reacher in future movies.Įverything seems to have to be a multi-picture franchise these days, and the Reacher stories certainly have plenty of great plot and location material to make for an excellent “franchise.” But let’s get “real” about this fictional character. I haven’t seen the movie for that reason, as I just can’t believe such a small man, no matter how talented and charismatic, portraying Jack Reacher. If Reacher’s exploits were described in the books without such emphasis on his size, then Tom Cruise or any other good action actor could be convincing in the role. If the casting is to have no relationship to the character, why not just hire Martin Short and make it a slapstick comedy? In my opinion, the Reacher stories are strong enough to attract a great audience without resorting to casting that has no regard for the role the character’s size plays in the novels and how much it is emphasized by the author. It’s an awkward bit of casting based, apparently, solely on trying to trade on his box office appeal. Cruise was ever considered for the movie role is beyond absurd. Munro is much more the model of Jack Reacher.
