Cloud Atlas - 22 February
Unfilmable? It might not be. The Wachowskis took on a gargantuan task in David Mitchell's multi-stranded novel. But, with the talents of Tom Hanks, Hugh Grant, Susan Sarandon and Halle Berry helping them along, they appear to have made it happen. We'll be marveling at hitherto unseen tricks of CG filmmaking when it reaches us in February.

Jack Reacher, 6' 5" tall (1.96m) with a 50-inch chest, and weighing between 210 and 250 pounds (100–115 kg). He has ice-blue eyes and dirty blond hair. His muscular physique is completely natural, he is exceptionally strong with a high intellect and military training, analyzing his environment and opponents at extremely high processing speeds.
Does this sound like Tom Cruise..? I don't think so..!!
21/09/2012 21:38
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! I am a massive fan of Jack Reacher and I can't think of anyone less suited to play him. For a start Jack Reacher is well over 6' tall!
21/09/2012 21:33
Jack Reacher is a 6' 6" muscular blond and is in his thirties. Does this describe Mr Cruise?
21/09/2012 21:25
how miss-cast is that,has anyone connected with this film read any of the books,reacher is described as a massive chunk of a man,Tom Cruise ??????
21/09/2012 22:05
its obvious how the dwarf was cast to play the character of jack reacher , he's probably financing this project himself , either that or one of his scientologist mates in high places paved the way for this enano to play the great man , its an insult to our intelligence , he's nothing like jack reacher and never will be , lee child must be seething , TOTAL RETHINK PLEASE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
21/09/2012 21:46
how ridiculous too cast Tom Cruise as Reacher. He's at least a foot to short and and about two foot to puny in the chest !!
Have these people never read the books !!!!!!
22/09/2012 08:28
Nope, Tom cruise is not Jack Reacher
21/09/2012 21:31
Jack Reacher is a 6' 6" blond and in his thirties when he leaves the military police, does that describe Mr Cruise
21/09/2012 22:01
This just burst my bubble, did Lee Child not get a say in this? Jack Reacher is 6ft 5in and 250lbs, the last person I imagined playing his part would be Tom (I'll stand on an orange box ) Cruise !!!

How ridiculous. I have read every Jack Reacher book to date and I am very dissappointed that Lee Childs has let this happen. Jack Reacher is a 6 feet 5 inch tall ex military cop, built like Robocop. Cruise is a 5 feet nothing ex pantomime dwarf in comparison. Not the greatest casting. I will not be be watching this film as it will destroy the image I have of Reacher.
22/09/2012 09:05
Rrong choice for Reacher.....Cruise is too small ...Other actors would fit the bill better.....I have been put off a bit by Cruise acting as Jack Reacher........I will now wait for the film to come on telly......Shame really.......
22/09/2012 08:49
Tom Cruise as Jack Reacher? Is this April 1st? I am a big fan of Tom Cruise & Jack Reacher, and I know special effects are better than ever, but how do they turn 5ft 6ins (ish) into 6ft 5ins?
Give me a break guys, anyone who has read the books will know Reacher's height and size is crucial to the plots. Sorry Tom, this one you should have avoided.
22/09/2012 08:38
Please tell me Tom Cruise is not the final choice to play Jack Reacher. I have nothing against Tom Cruise but having read the books he is NOTHING like the description of Jack Reacher, he is supposedly a very big man and no matter how good an actor Mr Cruise is or isn't he is NOT a big man by any standards. I really hope they don't cast him as it would just make a mockery of the books. I can't believe Lee Childs could have agreed to him being cast for this part.
22/09/2012 07:35
tom cruise as jack reacher 6. 5" with blonde hair chiseld good looks and a mans man! give me a break. who cast this stevie wonder? give it a wide berth..... Lee child sell out.
22/09/2012 07:27
Tom Cruise, 6ft 4" 240 pounds.??????
21/09/2012 22:59
Wrong, selfish casting... Jack Reacher is 6'5'' tall and built like a brick wall. Cruise is 5'6'' tall and couldn't climb over a brick wall! What an utter disaster for Reacher fans! :(
21/09/2012 22:48
Extremely BAD casting. Tom Cruise won't ever lure me to a cinema to see this vain actor TRYING to be something he just isn't. Jack Reacher is supposed to be a weighty very tall guy...... get my drift !!!
21/09/2012 22:37
I like Tom Cruise but Jack Reacher Never. Reacher is 6'5st" 250lbs.Seriously miscast . having read many of Lee Childs books which i have enjoyed i will maybe go & see the film but think they will need to change their leading man in the further if they want Reacher fans to watch any other films they make.
21/09/2012 22:16
This just burst my bubble! I've read all the books and Jack Reacher is 6ft 5in and 250lb. Did Lee Child not get a say in this? I take it the casting director hasn't read any of the books? The last person in the world I expected to play the part would be Tom (I'll just stand on my orange box) Cruise !!!
21/09/2012 22:11
Jack Reacher is 6 foot 5 inches tall in the books - how the hell is a short arse like Tom the **** Cruise playing him? I love the books, have read them all, but will NOT be going to see Cruise in the film...how disappointing is this?
