Reacher Series 2 drops on streaming this month
We will keep an eye out for new fight scenes and post
For those who read the books, this is based on Bad Luck And Trouble, the 11th book
The Tom Cruise films
the first, just called "Jack Reacher" is based on the 9th book One Shot
the second film is based on the 18th book Never Go Back, and carries that title
It was announced in July 2011 that Tom Cruise, a 5'7" (1.70 m) actor, would play Reacher, who is 6'5" (1.96 m) in the books
Lee Child said, "Reacher's size in the books is a metaphor for an unstoppable force, which Cruise portrays in his own way."
On 14 November 2018, Child announced that he made a deal with Skydance Television and Paramount Television to produce a Jack Reacher series based on the novels. During this time, feature films production would be halted. He also stated that Cruise would not return to the role. He said he hoped the new actor would more properly represent Reacher
Lee Child spoke about Tom Cruise in interview
"I really enjoyed working with Tom Cruise. He's a really, really nice guy. We had a lot of fun. But ultimately the readers are right. The size of Reacher is really, really important and it's a big component of who he is. So what I've decided to do is – there won't be any more movies with Tom Cruise. Instead we're going to take it to Long-form streaming television, with a completely new actor. We're rebooting and starting over and we're going to try and find the perfect guy"
The "perfect guy" of course, as we now know, is Alan Richton
