  • fucking hell. I don't want a movie. I don't like Tom Cruise... It's Jack Reacher we are talking about, people!

  • Sam Worthington

  • I think that Tom Selleck would be good as Reacher - has anybody seen him in the Jesse Stone movies?

  • I think mabye hugh jackman

    His had experience with movies alot like jack reacher and he isn't a midget like tom cruise.

  • I'm think more Clive Owen for the part

  • 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!

  • Tom Cruise is confirmed to play Reacher in The film adaption of One Shot is this a god dame joke :O :O :O

    Been Honest i would of prefered Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson or Chris Hemsworth to play him at least they have the size.

  • RAY STEVENSON.

  • I wish Dolph Lundgren was the right age to play Reacher. He would have been awesome.

  • Let's see, who could play Jack Reacher....hmmmm, Clive Owen Maybe?

  • liam neeson would be perfect considering hes 6 ft 4 and has the look but i agree. A movie wudnt do the books justice.

  • For Kids...fucking Hollywood clisee

  • 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

  • how about christopher merloni

  • Comment removed

  • This is not Jack Reacher, this is a fightclip from "The Bourne Ultimatum"

  • @Klintbaah We know, read the title.

  • @Klintbaah obviously

  • @Klintbaah how about Tom Selleck as Reacher

  • I dont really see vin deisel making a good reacher....dolph ludgren fits the bill perfectly though....just about the right height, weight, and build.

  • never say lesnar again!as we all know wwe stars are great at talkin trash in the ring,but when it comes to the big screen they stink!

  • Liev Schrieber would be my choice!!

  • Lesner is the only guy I know that matches his size description and might be as cocky as his character

  • Brock Lesner

  • i cant think of anybody worthy of playing Jack Reacher.

  • @JOEHATCH213

    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 !

  • @JOEHATCH213 the guy who plays thing in fantastic four?

  • @JOEHATCH213 agreed its mostly because there will never be anyone like reacher and no one will never be able to act out half the stuff reacher does

  • 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.

  • 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...

  • Perfect answer!

  • @RickButer well said... i was looking forward for a jack reacher movie.. but now i think the other way..

  • Gerard Butler. Looks the part, is capable of doing the physical bits, and can actually act.

  • 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"

  • Reacher is awsome and so is lee child

  • horrible pick...

  • I agree vin diesel no way wee need a blod The Rock

  • 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.

  • sorry but if dolph lundgren played jack reacher i probably wouldnt even watch the movie

  • 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

  • Nick Nolte played almost an exact duplicate of the Jack Reacher character in Mullholland Falls.

    He may be a little too old to play Jack Reacher now though.

  • jason statham is my jack reacher...

  • Vin Diesel as Reacher, epic FAIL!

  • would be terrible!

  • 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/

  • Yeah body type is right but as stated above Reacher is white and blonde. The Rock is Black and Hawaiian.

  • ok, then the rock dyes his hair, and reacher is also described as tanned in various books, for example, tanned and cleaning swimming pools...

  • @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 always thought Kevin Pollack might make a good Reacher. I don't know, never was good at casting roles.

  • They are actually making a reacher film based upon One Shot. I think that Die Trying would be better though.

  • 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...

  • the enemy is an awesome book, one of my faves. and i love the visitor, biggest plot twist ever.

  • if Jason Staham was a bit taller!!

  • 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!

  • Hey yay, he is yummmmmy! Quite as I imagine Reacher. I dont thing he is too young. He'd be perfect.

    Reacher is a super-cool guy, isnt he? I luv him!

  • undertaker or the tall guy outta serenity

  • anyone but vin diesel, please.

  • PLEASE!!!! He has far more intelligence than what that idiot could have. Besides, his a female sex symbol. I hope your a chick lol

  • Liam would be ace, love the trailer

  • I think arnold swarznegger would've been a good jack reacher but that wont happen but mark whalberg could be good but i dont think he is tall enough

  • 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.

  • obviously u havent seen taken...

  • hes also a bit old. but besides that, pretty much perfect.

  • have you seen taken? jesus.

  • yeah taken is like one of my favourite films haha, so i take my comment back :P liam neeson is the perfect jack reacher :)

  • 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?
