Tom Cruise Confirmed as Hulking Hero in ‘One Shot’

As previously lamented, Tom Cruise will officially take on the role of Jack Reacher in the adaptation of Lee Child’s novel, One Shot. Going against odds, Cruise will play a 6-foot-5 renegade soldier so averse to consistency that he compulsively disposes of articles of clothing after a single use.

Writing the script and directing the project is Christopher McQuarrie, most notable for Valkyrie, in which he and Cruise took on Nazi-hunting in a particularly inauthentic manner. Luckily, One Shot won’t call for Cruise to take on a German accent—or to completely dismiss the need for one.
