Lee Child, the author of the books about Jack Richer, talked with a journalist of the Air Force Portal for the development of the series of the series and searches for the new artist. According to him, Tom Cruise is too similar to the character: Reacher was an increase in 195 cm and had a "palm of soup soup".
"The idea was that when Jack comes into the room, everyone starts nervous. Despite his acting talent, volume does not have the necessary physical form. I liked to work with him, he is an excellent guy, but readers of right: Jack Rcher's size is important. This is a huge component of his personality. "Now Cheating is going to make the creation of the series for the Stringing Service and choose a new actor. "There will be no more films with Tom Cruise, instead we will develop a full-fledged series. I want all readers who were upset by the previous performer, helped me find a new actor. We reboot, and we need an ideal candidate. "
The first "Jack Reacher" came out in 2012, received good reviews and collected $ 218 million. But the name of the sequel "Jack Reacher 2: Never go back" turned out to be prophetic: the film was worse in the eyes and critics, and the audience, earning only 160 with a small one million.
