Meet Jack Reacher

Last summer, Tom Cruise made headlines when he was cast as Jack Reacher in One Shot, Christopher (Oscar-winning screenwriter of The Usual Suspects) McQuarrie’s adapation of Lee Child’s 2005 novel.

They were unkind headlines because Jack Reacher is meant to be this real tall guy, right – like, 6’5” – and Cruise is...not.

Clearly, though, from the looks of this sneak-peek look-see at Cruise in character, the actor is nevertheless quite the commanding presence.

And he makes me wish it already were time to meet Jack Reacher (that’s the movie’s new title – Potential Franchise Alert!), but, unfortunately, we gotta wait until Dec. 21 for that. Something tells me it’ll be well worth it.
