Loads of Hollywood names have been thrown up (The Rock, Vin Diesel etc) but realistically for a TV series I'm pretty sure they will use a lesser known actor who hasn't already been typecast into a specific role or genre (and should come in a damn sight cheaper). No actor has been named as a replacement so it might be fun to speculate here. He wasn't a good representation of the "unstoppable force" fans of the books know and love but I enjoyed both films regardless.Īnyway, after tens of thousands of complain letters Lee Child has relented and agreed to a Netflix series based on the novels, which in hindsight will probably work much better. Personally I didn't mind Tom Cruise in the movies - yes, he lacked the physical presence (a 5ft 5" slightly built bloke playing a 6ft 5" brick shithouse, basically) but he still brought an air of menace and capability to the screen which simply can't be adequately portrayed in the books. I know there are some fans of Lee Child's Jack Reacher books on here, I thought I might start a discussion thread about the new one and the upcoming TV series.
