Rosamund Pike In Talks for One Shot With Tom Cruise

rosamundpike-120.jpgShould have been you, Hayley Atwell. Deadline reports that Rosamund Pike is in negotiations to star opposite Tom Cruise in One Shot, the Christopher McQuarrie-directed adaptation of Lee Child's 2005 novel. Pike -- who apparently beat out Atwell and Alexa Davalos for the role -- will play the daughter of a district attorney embroiled in a mystery involving six-foot-five ex-cop-turned-drifter Jack Reacher (Cruise) and a sniper. She next stars in The Big Year, and will appear in Clash of the Titans 2 in 2012; One Shot is set to begin shooting early next year. [Deadline]

    'six-foot-five ex-cop-turned-drifter Jack Reacher (Cruise)'
    Cruise playing a 65 year old would be more convincing than him as someone who's 6'5". Oh what CGI hath wrought.
