Fellow Forumites who are devotees of Lee Childs’ anti-hero Jack Reacher may be dismayed to learn that Hollywood intends turning ‘One Shot’ into a movie. Why dismayed ?
Well, guess who’s down to play the 6’5″, 200lbs of ruthless, amoral ex-military cop ?
Yes, all 5’7″ of him, it’s……..
OMG, I can’t bring meself to type it….

Yes, Sat2, you’ve got it in one. We realise all film adaptions involve compromise but losing 10″ from the main man is pushing it a bit. Perhaps they’ll do what was (allegedly) done in Alan Ladd films and dig trenches for the other actors to stand in so that he would appear to be taller.

Tom Cruise?…….. 5’7″, not tall enough, please God!
