New ‘Jack Reacher’ Trailer with Tom Cruise Is Here

by Joe Gillis, Oct 17 2012 // 2:00 PM

Let’s be honest, Tom Cruise is not a large or particularly menacing man. However, in the new movie Jack Reacher he plays one of those in the character of Reacher.

Let’s just say while Tom is pretty good at action, he’s no Jack Reacher — at least if you take the Lee Child books as gospel as to how the character is supposed to appear. Anyway, here’s the latest trailer for the movie so you can decide for yourself.

Check it out below. Look for Mr. Cruise as Mr. Reacher on December 21.

First ‘Jack Reacher’ Trailer with Tom Cruise Arrives

by Joe Gillis, Jul 3 2012 // 5:00 PM

You gotta love Hollywood. Even though the main character of the Jack Reacher novels by Lee Child is 6-foot-5 and 250 pounds, Paramount saw fit to put Tom Cruise in the movie as the character. Inspired casting indeed.

This may come as a surprise to some of you but Tom Cruise is nowhere near 6-foot-5 or 250 pounds. Not even when he wears the lifts in his shoes and the camera shoots him from a low angle so he looks taller. It’s just not believable, sorry.

Oh well, since when has Hollywood tried to do anything believable, right? It is entertainment and make believe after all, not a documentary.

Anyway, the first trailer for the Jack Reacher film featuring Cruise has dropped and we’ve got it for. What do you think of Cruise?

Check out the trailer after the break. Look for the bad ass Tom Cruise as Jack Reacher to arrive in theaters on December 21.

‘Spartacus’ Star Jai Courtney to Play McLane’s Son in New ‘Die Hard’ Flick

by Sebastian Suchecki, Feb 23 2012 // 2:00 PM

After an arduous search for the actor who could play John McClane’s son in the newest installment of the Die Hard franchise, 20th Century Fox has finally settled on Jai Courtney.

Courtney is best known for playing Varro in the Starz series Spartacus: Blood And Sand. In the series, Courtney played a close friend and confidante of Spartacus until they were forced into a battle to the death. Courtney has had a bit of a big screen surge as he will next be seen starring opposite Tom Cruise in Paramount’s One Shot, the Christopher McQuarrie directed adaptation of the Lee Child bestseller. He is also attached to star opposite Aaron Eckhart in I, Frankenstein.

A Good Day To Die Hard, the fifth installment of the Die Hard franchise, puts McClane on unfamiliar ground, taking the hard-ass  New York City cop to the streets of Moscow. The flick introduces McClane’s estranged son Jack (Courtney). The McClane’s butt heads due to their similar personalities. Despite their differences, they must work together to keep each other alive and keep the world safe for democracy. This film positions Courtney to become a recurring character alongside Willis, and possibly take over for Willis as the lead as the sequels continue.
