Jack Reacher will move to TV
If Hollywood began to rarely indulge viewers with truly high-quality spy thrillers, then in the world of television this genre is in perfect order.

As befits a master of the detective genre, Lee did not give up all the addresses, passwords and addresses. The name of the channel or streaming service seeking to acquire the rights to Jack Reacher has remained under wraps.

The start of work on the TV adaptation of Child's book series makes it clear that viewers can hardly hope for a triquel.  According to the writer, the reason for the modest performance of the dilogy in the world box office was the significant difference in the book and screen images of Reacher. “I have received tens of thousands of emails complaining that Cruz is too small for the role,” Lee said. -Jack looks pretty scary. As soon as this two-meter guy enters the room, everyone present begins to strain a little. For all his acting talent, Tom could not give the impression of the same threat. I think Reacher will be played by someone with more suitable anthropometric data, even if it is not a top star. " The Topic of Article: Jack Reacher will move to TV. |
