Tom Cruise In Talks to Play Six-Foot-Five Drifter
Tom Cruise is reportedly in negotiations with Paramount Pictures and Skydance Productions to star in One Shot, an adaptation of Lee Child's thriller series. Cruise would play Jack Reacher, who is described in the books as a six-foot-five, 250-pound military policeman-turned-drifter. If all goes as planned, the film will shoot in Pittsburgh before Cruise begins production on the big budget sci-fi film Oblivion. The Usual Suspects scribe Christopher McQuarrie is set to direct.

I heard they're rewriting the story so Jack Reacher takes on the sinister Lollipop Guild of Oz.
I am in talks to play a Latino woman confined to a wheelchair in Paramount's adaptation of Sue Grafton's "A is for Alibi". Wish me luck!!!
A true manifestation of the napoleon complex.
Jack Reacher sounds like someone constantly stretching for the top shelf. Tom Cruise is perfect casting.
Awesome.
I just threw up a little in my mouth.
This is the worst idea ever. Ever.
LOL!!
