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.
