I seriously doubt most people know who Jack Reacher is. To those of us into the books (I own all of them) having Tom Cruise play the monstrous Jack Reacher was ridiculous. Have Cruise play Thor, Conan, it would be the same thing. No Cruise can't sell the character, IF you know who the character is. Bautista would have been perfect. The physical presense of Reacher is a huge part of the story. Without that going on it's not a Jack Reacher story. |

And you aren't even considering that it's quite unlikely the movie gets green-lit by a studio unless Cruise or another big name is attached. In 2011-12, Bautista was only known as being an on/off again wrestler. |

I never thought of anyone playing Reacher in a movie until I saw Cruise, which was actually comical. You never get very far in any of the novels before you read something about the size of Reacher, it is a constant in all the stories, very important you get....big bad ass here. Think of a Batman movie without all his gadgets and toys. Same thing. Long after the movies then I thought how Bautista would have been a perfect fit. |
