Pare assurdo che Jack Reacher sia stato interpretato da Tom Cruise, è davvero ridico. Jack è alto e robusto, esattamente il contrario di Cruise!Comunque adoro Lee Child ed il suo personaggio.

Hugh Jackman would have been a good Reacher.

Aussy Russell Crowe if he got himself into shape?
He's not that young but he still has some boyish good looks left. Can't stand Tom Cruise I'm afraid. Not just his lack of height for the job but his soft face and mouth always hanging open. ![]() If anyone else is old enough around here to remember, I think John Wayne would have fit the bill perfectly. After him Clint Eastwood. |

Liam Neeson I think might have been a reasonable choice. He certainly has been proving his action qualifications with the "Take Two" movies. Vaughn and McConaughey are close to Reacher's physical characteristics but I think much worse choices than Cruise. How many people would see Vaughn and think "Wedding Crashers"? McConaughey is one of the worst actors of all time. He was unconvincing as a lawyer and extremely poorly typecast as Dirk Pitt in "Sahara." I'm not familiar with the other two you named. If the only that matters is size, why not use "The Rock" -- Dwayne Johnson. |

How about the guy that plays on the show Person of Interest? Jim Caviezel is the actors name. He is 6'2" and definitely not a pretty boy. Plus, I do enjoy looking at him......
I know, he is an unknown, so lower budget. S Oops, didn't realize he was in Passion of Christ! Last edited by silverraven; 12-17-2012 at 08:37 AM. |

I honestly don't see that the actor's physical appearance is of the slightest relevance. The movie is not intended to be a precise reproduction of the books, and very few of the people who see it will ever have read the books.

The UK Telegraph published an article when news that Cruise had purchased the rights to the book was made known. They referenced the fact that Childs' novels have sold 60 million copies worldwide. Good job, Lee! That's a lot of ReacherCreatures!

If you're not out to get Jack Reacher fans, and capitalize on the popularity of the books, then you could have just bought story rights from Child (if the story was that strong) and make Mission Impossible 5 featuring Cruise as Ethan Hunt. But if you're trying to sell me Jack Reacher, then I expect to get Jack Reacher in the package. |

(Real answer, aside from any possible scheduling conflicts, is of course, "because Tom Cruise's name sells more tickets," of course. Heck, I'm a fan of the Marvel movies, and I wouldn't have recognized Hemsworth's name immediately, had you not put it along side the word "Thor.") I was amused, by the way, by one video interview I saw of Child saying something to the effect of "I think Cruise was an excellent choice, and I'm not just saying that because I'm contractually prohibited from saying anything bad about it...."
