Tom Cruise to portray Jack Reacher in the film adaptation of Lee Child's 'One Shot'?

If I am not mistaken, Jack Reacher is 6'5" in the books (not 5'6").  I'm sure this casting will sell tickets, but will likely infuriate fans of the books (aka, Reacher's Creatures).

    I couldn't agree more. If they need to have Tom Cruise in there to sell tickets then redo parts of the stories for a smaller person and have the main character be Jack Reacher's lesser known little brother, Philip Reacher, or something.

    That or they could film the entire movie with people who are all under five feet tall.

    This is as ridiculous as when Morgan Freeman played Alex Cross.
