Tom Cruise Breaks Type For Jack Reacher Series

Posted 6/14/11 11:15 am EST by in Casting Call


Tom CruiseTom Cruise is a perfect fit as Ethan Hunt, but perhaps he's reaching a bit with his next proposed role.

The "Mission: Impossible — Ghost Protocol" actor is reportedly in negotiations with Paramount Pictures and Skydance Productions to star as drifter Jack Reacher in an adaptation of "One Shot," based on the popular Reacher thrillers from author Lee Child. "The Usual Suspects" writer Christopher McQuarrie would write and direct the film. Cruise's casting is undoubtedly a bit of a curveball for fans of the Reacher series, since the character is described as 6'5" and roughly 250 pounds — not exactly Cruise's physical type.

Check out the rest of today's biggest casting news past the jump, including new additions to "The Dark Knight Rises" and "The Great Gatsby" casts!

Posted 12/17/08 10:25 am EST by in News


Tracy MorganThe most famous scam on the Internet is now going to be a Tracy Morgan comedy. According to Variety, Morgan and T.J. Miller (better known as Hud the cameraman in "Cloverfield") have signed on to star in "Roommates" for Paramount Pictures.

The comedy is centered around the famous Nigerian e-mail scams -- the ones where a prince, princess, prime minister, or political refugee e-mails you promising you millions if you would help them smuggle their money out of the country using your own bank account. For Miller's drunken freshman, it doesn't seem suspicious at all, and he replies offering to help a Nigerian prince access a lost fortune. Read More...
