Lee Child Desk Police Officer Cameo

Last week I posted this still from the new Jack Reacher movie starring Tom Cruise. I love that Lee Child, creator and writer par excellence, of the Jack Reacher mysteries, has a cameo in the film as a desk cop. Very cool, Lee, especially since you're 'seated'.. no competition with Tom. You're the real height of Reacher, but I won't go there.

Anyway, it turned out that it was not the 'official' release date for the photo still, even though it was posted in various places on the internet. So I took it down. Today is the official date, so for those who missed it, here it is again. And, for those who already saw it, enjoy the Official Movie Trailer for Reacher below.

 

Mystery Bytes: TV news

1. This is so wrong! Tom Cruise is in negotiation to play the lead role in the upcoming action movie ‘One Shot’, adapted from the best-selling crime novel by Lee Child. Cruise is in negotiations with Paramount Pictures and Skydance Productions. The movie will be directed by Christopher McQuaire, who also provides the script for the movie.

The story of the movie is about a former military policeman, Jack Reacher, who investigates a case, where a sniper is accused of killing five people. The character of Reacher in the book is of 6’5” and weighs 250 pounds. That should tell you why this just isn't right!


2. HBO and BBC2 plan to create a new miniseries based on I, Claudius by Robert Graves. The acquisition deal "ends a long series of twists and turns for the rights to a book that was previously turned into an Emmy-winning 13-part miniseries in 1976 by BBC." Although BBC controls the rights to the original TV miniseries, the new HBO/BBC2 production will focus primarily on Graves's books I, Claudius: From the Autobiography of Tiberius Claudius Born 10 B.C. Murdered and Deified A.D. 54 and Claudius The God: And His Wife Messalina.
