So Tom Cruise has read every book?? Well so have I and I'm a lot taller than smurf boy and had a life like Jacks in some ways, so of all the people in the world to play a character like Jack, they pick Tom Cruise!!!!!!! I suggest everyone waits until the movie is made, watch it to see how it goes and then mobilize online groups to push Cruise out of the next movie.
Tom Cruise as Jack Reacher,you have to be kidding.I wont be watching the movie and I will never read another Lee Child book.What was wrong with using an actor that is over six foot tall instead of a midget.I always pictured some one like Dolph Lundgren but Tom Cruise what a joke.Lee child has sold out for the big buck,but then again he was never a James Lee Burke or a Michael Connelly!
@kiwibilly2 Wow, and you think Lee Child is the sellout? you sure do sound like a true fan to me. He had a book signing here in town and said that after speaking with several actors, Tom Cruise was his favorite choice. i didn't like it at first either, but he said tom has read every book and best personifies the character and is able to fit the bill. I think I'll trust the judgment of the one who created the character in the first place, instead of throwing my book down and throwing a hissy fit.
@DrSnuggums I did'nt throw a hissy fit it's just that Jack Reacher is 250 lbs and 6'6" tall and thats not Tom Cruise.So go and fuck your mother cocksucker you little bitch!
If you love the excellent Lee Child, another – at present relatively unknown – crime mystery thriller that looks really good is called With Cold Hearts by David Hurst, rough-edged (and sinister) trailer is on YouTube here: – /watch?v=JLZY-CKoPMA
Wise words , dude . Anyone watching this shit , obviously hasn't read any of the books . I can't think of any actor past or present either . Best left to print 'cause books are better than films anyway - unless of course , you're a bit stupid and you like Bad Boyz ! ha ha !
This is silly. You're portraying it like an action film with a throwaway plot when in-fact, all the Reacher books have a decent plot with a great twist. Some better plots than others such as Tripwire, or The Enemy.
I agree that Vin, Rock or Dolph aren't who come to mind for Jack. Viggo Mortensen would be ok, if the movie is made before he's too old. The actor would have to be tall, buff but not Hulkish, good-looking but not a pretty boy, and look natural with a blonde crewcut. Daniel Craig would be ok if the director can make him look over 6ft and 250lbs. but look what was done for Sly Stalone. This role could be a career maker for an unknown. As long as Jack Reacher get's in theatres I'll be happy.
@qwertydoll1 I totally agree with you Qwertydoll1 - I have recently discovered the Jack Reacher novels and am on my third one (reading them now in order) - would love to see him in the movies!
I think in this book (Bad Luck and Trouble) he's described as having a crew cut and then I pictured Howie Long. Before I'd see The Rock as he looked in "The Rundown"
The actor with the closest physical appearance to Reacher would be Dolph Lundgren(maybe a bit past his prime now), really tall and well built with blond hair. Unfortunately he can't act. Johnny Messner looks really good for the part too if we coiuld overlook his dark hair.
I totally agree, I was talking entirely from a looks point of view i.e. Reacher is described as very tall and muscular with sandy blonde hair. Lundgren be a terrible pick for the part, and I'd probably skip the movie too, but he'd look right
vin diesel? that makes me a sad panda. I always thought Daniel Craig would be the best, but then again i always though Reacher was like a tougher Bond w/o gadgets.. so makes sense.
reacher is 6 foot 5 and 250 punds of muscle, no fat. if u want a rough idea of what that looks like, look at The Rock. he should play reacher in One Shot, when the film is finally ready to be made/
@SyphusBatterus I don't think the characters race is that important. I think the Rock would do an awesome job. As he is one of the last believable action stars left.
I think One Shot is a decent place to start. Maybe Killing Floor too. If they make several into movies I think the third or fourth should be The Enemy. A very underrated Reacher novel...
If there will be a jack reacher movie,my idea of him was ideal of an actor called Johnny Messner..I don't know why,but when i read the book,he was the one that cross my mind..his 6'2-6'3ish,muscular lad..good looking too,maybe a wee bit young 2 be reacher,but,ahh..just search him on the net...peace and love!
Liam Neeson, personally i dont think he would fit his character.
1. He's British?
2. I personally dont tihnk he has the right build.
And 3. He's not an action movie kind of guy, he's more of a romance character player.
But thats just me ;)Personally i think someone like the guy who plays the punisher in the old movie, he has the right attitude and build and accent to play reacher just fine.
watch taken and you'll see neeson play an american, built and hard as nails. Not many really tall actors nowadays. he's irish but does a good yank accent.
me and my mates have been debating who should play jack reacher. tough coz of his height and build etc. I watched a film called taken the other day and have suggested liam neeson as jack. Who do you think?
fucking hell. I don't want a movie. I don't like Tom Cruise... It's Jack Reacher we are talking about, people!

liam neeson and Gerard Butler are both good I guess, but I have to be honest.
As a jack reacher fan, I dont really wanna see a movie coming out.
Because then there is a permanent face on reacher. I like my reacher the way he is, and he doesnt even have a face.
But maybe its just me, and I could be wrong...
