Yet another great and preferable choice! Chris stars in Robopocalypse due out in 2014. Really enjoyed that book!

Harry - MP in this case stands for Military Police.

^ DreamWorks apparently bought the rights before the book was even finished and Spielberg has made statements in interviews that sound like he's committed to the project. He's cast Anne Hathaway to star alongside Hemsworth and she has said that if it really happens, she's onboard!

When a movie wants to show how tough a guy is, they might show him going up against huge beefy dudes in a biker bar. Casting Woody Allen or Judy Dench as the biker would not be a good choice, no matter how big a draw their names are or how talented they are. Movies are a visual medium, and what we see matters. Reacher's size and build is an important matter in how he relates to people, and how he gets away with much of what he does. Child felt it important enough to write it, and reiterate it many times, so why wasn't it important enough to put on the screen? But acting ability is also an important matter, and I don't think the Rock cuts it there. Last edited by ApK; 12-17-2012 at 05:29 PM. |

"She looked at me. I wanted her to see this huge guy. A soldier for thirteen long years. A bare-knuckle killer. Icy blue eyes. I was giving it everything I had. I was willing myself to project all the invincibility, all the implacability, all the protection I felt. I was doing the hard, no-blink stare that used to shrivel up drunken marines two at a time."

I digress from the original gist of this thread:
I love Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson!! I feel that he is being treated similarly to Elvis Presley, in that he is being cast as a non-actor when he has proven that he can do some good work. I think he could be pretty good given the opportunity. |

I started out kind of liking Mitch Rapp but the over-the-top right wing political proselytizing just wore me out and I quit reading them about 4 novels ago.
