Default Jack Reacher - new star in the making (Tom who?)

Who's going to see Jack Reacher for the suspicious onlooker? Apologies if old and all credit goes to reddit but for those who haven't seen/don't know yet:

Maybe instead of posing a huge ass image you should actually explain the story and wdf you're talking about.

If you're a fan of Jack Reacher, you already know Tom Cruise is no Jack Reacher.

Terrible casting.

Love the books.

Story: Some random dude was an extra in some movie, and posted his imdb on reddit. This caused a whole bunch of people to go view this random dude's imdb page and moved him above Tom Cruise in page viewings?

Wasn't a funny or cool picture or video and is an even worse thread.

Funny thing is that guy will probably be offered a role in something just because of all this.

Jack Reacher is the worst film name for a closeted gay celebrity to star in. what's wrong was Stroke Jerker taken?

Didn't think there would be CP interest on this, but I absolutely can't believe Tom Cruise is playing Reacher (nobody in the books ever calls him "Jack")

I get that movies and books are sometimes different, the movie is quite the departure.
In the books, Reacher is a huge hulking loner/wanderer with a analytically step by step mind. Sort of like Hobo with a shotgun meets Sherlock Holmes.

I agree. With Tom Cruise playing Jack, the only adjective I can think of is "scrappy", the antithesis of Reacher.

Yes, this is the story. Unfortunately the OP's post was not even a little bit clear on what the story was. He was accidentally bumped up to #4 on the credits, just because his original link got so many page views. Then redditors decided they wanted to bump him above Tom Cruise to #1 on the credits.

I think it's pretty funny. Goes from just posting a link to his IMDb page as an extra to top credit in the Jack Reacher movie. Hopefully this somehow springboards his career.

I'm interested to see how many of the books get rolled into this one movie :-(

Just a mini rant but WTF were they thinking? Clearly Child was not thinking of the lilliputian scientologist when he was writing the books.

Who would you cast? I am thinking the Rock would have been perfect.
