idiotic casting choices

[village idiot]

went on the Lee Child website to find out if there was a new Reacher novel out yet (yes, called The Affair), also found out they are planning a film of the book One Shot, & who have they decided should play 6' 5" 250lb Jack Reacher?????

go on, you'll never guess



Tom b*stard Cruise!!!!! that's who

I despair, I really do

[Argyll]

There's been many a movie ruined through mis-casting mate:

Kevin Costner at Robin Hood
Timothy Dalton at James Bond

The list is endless.

[village idiot]

I agree with that Argyll but come on, if you had read the Reacher novels you would know just how unsuitable Tom Cruise is for the role

[kellys_eye]

Better off casting Jo Brand than Tom Cruise

She'd have to go on a diet to get down to 250lb.

Reacher is great and I read all the books but I would not in a million years cast Tom. What a shame, I like Reacher but not sure if I will watch it.

the author was on BBC Breakfast the other day trying to defend the decision saying that it was just a different interpretation of his books

[dave.m]

Probably dome it to improve the box office figures with T.C.'s fans who, no doubt, have never read the book so would not know about the size of Jack Reacher.

The funny thing is that in every book they play up to Reacher's height and stature!

TC was shooting a film at Shepperton, my mates were on set, and were told before Mr Cruise came on set to a. Not speak to him. b. Do not get in his site line and c. Do not look him in the eyes.

Timothy Dalton at James Bond

I quite liked him TBH. Much better that Rodger so-called Moore.

..... Do not look him in the eyes.

I heard that's because he hates people bowing in front of him....
