Tom Cruise stars in Jack Reacher — and the teaser trailer was just released.

    Great books. Don’t see Cruise as Reacher, though. Too bad.

  • Fancyfeatherstx

    If Jack Reacher was a real person , he would be so disappointed to know Tom Cruise was playing him in the movie. Lee childs books are a great read,. but T.C as Reacher no way !

  • mayhemgirl

    I agree, no WAY this guy is Reacher. Reacher is a HUGE guy, not a midget. This is a horrible casting choice, and the movie makers aren’t going to get the Lee Child readers behind this movie IMO

    the movie makers aren’t going to get the Lee Child readers behind this movie...BusinessJob7.blogspot.com

    ITA…Jack Reacher is one of my favorite book characters and I have read all of Lee Child’s novels. Jack is 6’5″, 250lbs. Now, how is little 5’7″ Tom Cruise going to pull that off. Watching the trailer shows Tom in the middle of a circle of men and he is the smallest one there. What was Lee Child thinking to agree to Tom Cruise to play Jack Reacher. I won’t be able to see this movie or any of the sequels if there are any. So disappointed.

    Lee Child..shame on you. There were plenty of big, tough-looking actors that could have taken on the character of Jack Reacher and done him proud…certainly not little man Cruise. Guess I will just have to keep reading the books in order to get my Reacher fix.

    Exactly what you said!

  • Anonymous

    Right. Nathan Fillon (Castle), Alexander Skaargard (Eric, True Blood…sorry for misspellings), both more Reacher than Cruise.

    No matter how good the film, due to his connection to Scientology I personally wouldn’t go and see it.

  • ESL

    Love the books. Not a fan of TC at the best of times, but now I really can’t stand him. It is extremely unprofessional and irresponsible of him to take on a role that he is so obviously not right for. Picking Gerard Butler to play Marilyn Monroe might be worse casting but not by much. Will not ruin my image of Jack Reacher by seeing this film. The sooner it’s released and dies, the better.

    Its a travesty. Knowing how iconic Reacher is and his huge build, why on earth did they pick an actor that is renowned for his SMALL stature? His voice is not deep enough either. Wont be watching this. Never liked TC anyway and it made me cry to think he is playing my favourite character in a book. I laughed out loud when I saw that group of men around him and he was the smallest. That is supposed to be intimidating? Please. Don’t know what you were thinking Mr Child, but it seems as tho you had dollar signs in your eyes making you blind.

    Vince Vaughn. I’d love to see him as Reacher.

  • One Disgusted Fan

    The most ABSURD casting choice in the history of movie making!!!! Was Lee Child being held hostage with a knife to his throat to sign TC on as his iconic Reacher??? Simply unbelievable.

  • Play

    this is insane. No way will I be watching this movie. Tom Cruise as Jack Reacher. What were you thinking? It’s like having andy warhol play Obama. I am just so disappointed.

  • Camorley

    Agree. Cruise will ruin my mental image of Reacher forever if I go see the movie. Bad choice Lee.

  • DavidRyan11

    Absolute joke. Complete and utter BS. Been reading Reacher novels for YEARS, thinking how great they would be as films, and when it finally happens THIS is who they cast?????? Are you kidding me?? Until now I’ve enjoyed most of Cruise’s movies, although he seems to be a bit of a nutjob in real life. How he managed to get his greedy grubby (tiny) paws on this role will boggle my mind for years to come. To me this is in the same ballpark as if Warwick Davis had been cast as Superman. It just makes me so damn angry. Lee Child, wtf, have a damn backbone and put your foot down, you should have laughed at the mere suggestion of Cruise playing Reacher. Damn sellout. Makes me sick to my stomach. Hey everyone, I hear Lee Child had some input into the new Hobbit movie, he wants Dolph Lundgren to play Bilbo Baggins. Lee Child shame on you, absolute shame.

  • DaveT

    I was so upset when I heard TC was playing the roll… AAAAAAAACK….. Dwayne Johnson would have been cool…. But TC NO WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Whipper75229

    SAY IT ISN’T SO! OMG! I’m not anti-Cruise, but REALLY??? Whoever came up with Tom as Jack Reacher should be SHOT. I love the Jack Reacher novels but I could never go see Tom Cruise playing that character! PLEASE ind someone else a bit taller!! It is TOTALLY ridiculous!

  • Darthmolar

    Tom Cruise as Reacher UGH How about Stephen Carrell as Batman..whew and double dumb

  • DPLESQ

    I’ve always though Trace Adkins would be a great Reacher. TC is the worst choice imaginable.

  • Nicolam

    Here here..I’ve read four of the books and I absolutely love Reacher…Tom short stuff, squeaky voiced Cruise being chosen for the role shows a total disrespect for the character and also a total disregard to the JR fans without which a film wouldn’t be being made!!!

  • KS

    like me – no one should watch this…I’m going to hide under a rock with the Jack Reacher books until this movie dies – I cried angry frustrated tears when I saw the trailer!!!

  • Elizabeth s. Queensland

    No,no,no not TC – I picture Hugh Jackman doing a better job (at least he has the height). TC looks like a dwarf besides the other actors, he is looking up to them !!. I have all 17 books read many times over. My favourite is The Killing Floor Lee Child’s first novel. G’day to you all !
