While not much about it isn’t known either, it is pretty clear that the makers wish to take the ‘ Jack Ryan’ route when none of their films worked either.
#CAST JACK REACHER SERIES#
Read on.Īccording to latest reports, Lee Child has signed a deal with the television divisions of both Paramount and Skydance, the distributors and producers of both of Cruise’s popular franchises ‘Jack Reacher’ and ‘ Mission Impossible’, to produce a television series based on the character. In these circumstances, while a sequel would seem highly unlikely given the unfavourable reception, we decode all the news we have regarding what could come of the third film and whether it would be happening or not. Both films had a decent worldwide gross but ended up under-performing in the home circuit, while struggling critically as well and the internet would state that they weren’t adored by fans of Reacher or Cruise much either. The first one finds its allegiance in the 2005 Child novel ‘One Shot’ while the second’s in its title, ‘Never Go Back’. 4, 2022.‘ Jack Reacher’, the fictional brainchild of British author Lee Child and a bonafide badass, joining the long list of ex-marine vigilante arse kickers from the pens of a number of authors, has had two film adaptations to date, remarkably less than any one of the other action heroes mentioned above despite there being a wealth of literature devoted to him (23 books), both starring Tom Cruise in the titular role and serving as standalone stories dictating the character’s exploits following his origins. Reacher premieres on Amazon Prime Video Feb. Child, Don Granger, Scott Sullivan, with David Ellison, Dana Goldberg, and Bill Bost are also executive producers. Nick Santora ( Scorpion, Prison Break) serves as writer, executive producer, and showrunner via his overall deal with Skydance Television. Carpenter ( Devious Maids) as Mosley, Maxwell Jenkins ( Lost in Space) as Young Reacher, and Bruce McGill ( My Cousin Vinny) as Mayor Teale. The cast also features Malcolm Goodwin ( iZombie) as Oscar Finlay, Willa Fitzgerald ( The Goldfinch) as Roscoe Conklin, Chris Webster ( Most Dangerous Game) as KJ, Hugh Thompson ( Blessed Stranger: After Flight 111) as Baker, Maria Sten ( Swamp Thing) as Frances Neagley, Harvey Guillén ( What We Do in the Shadows) as Jasper, Kristin Kreuk ( Smallville) as Charlie, Currie Graham ( Murder in the First) as Kliner Sr., Marc Bendavid ( Dark Matter) as Hubble, Willie C. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a little intimidated, stepping into a role that 110 million people already have an idea as to who you are." It's remarkable what he did and I think he opened the door for a lot more people to enjoy Jack Reacher because of his work. Who else could've pulled that off? I don't know. he still carried the weight of what this series represents. He brought even more eyes to this and despite his stature. And then you throw in Tom, who I can only express gratitude for what he did. "It's one of the highest-selling book franchises of all time," he said. Ritchson described the opportunity to step into the role as "overwhelming" during an interview with Reel Talker earlier this year. Ritchson more than proved he has the action chops in Titans for a role like this, and though we'll miss the Hawk costume, it's nice to know he's still out there kicking butt in a new show after his untimely Titans exit. However, the true killer will soon find out that they messed with the wrong guy once Jack sets out on a ruthless path to prove his own innocence. He kind of has no choice in the matter once the cops arrest him for the crime, pointing to a plethora of incriminating evidence. This latest adaptation of the book series penned by Lee Child takes the form of a television show (simply titled Reacher) that will premiere on Amazon Prime Video at the start of 2022.īased on Killing Floor (Child's first Jack Reacher novel published in 1997), the show follows the former military police investigator as he helps a small Georgia town solve its first murder case in two decades. One of the breakout cast members of Titans - where he played the vigilante known as Hawk - Ritchson takes over the character from none other than Tom Cruise, who played Reacher in a pair of movies released in 20, respectively. Jack Reacher is back and this time around, he's played by Alan Ritchson.
