Lee Child’s ex-military cop JACK REACHER will get the big-screen treatment later this year as Tom Cruise wears stilts to accommodate the hulking stature of the author’s heroic character. Well, not really, but Cruise will play Reacher and is based on Child’s novel ‘One Shot‘, the 9th tale to feature the hard-as-nails homicide investigator. THE WAY OF THE GUN’s Christopher McQuarrie is back behind the camera and also on script duties for this action-thriller slated for 26th December.
Here’s that first poster:
JACK REACHER will co-star Jai Courtney, Rosamund Pike, Richard Jenkins, Robert DuVall, David Oyelowo and Werner Herzog as the villain.
Craig was our great north east correspondent, proving that it’s so ‘grim up north’ that losing yourself in a world of film is a foregone prerequisite. He has been studying the best (and often worst) of both classic and modern cinema at the University of Life for as long as he can remember. Craig’s favorite films include THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION, JFK, GOODFELLAS, SCARFACE, and most of John Carpenter’s early work, particularly THE THING and HALLOWEEN.

Gee, there’s a big surprise.
No indication of what the movie is or about, just another big mug shot of Tom Bloody Cruise.
He’s not shaved! It’s moody!
He’s bleeding! It’s violent!
Or he cut himself shaving.
Christopher McQuarrie. Stars: Tom Cruise, Rosamund Pike, Richard Jenkins. Summary: A homicide investigator digs deeper into a case involving a trained military sniper who shot five random victims
