Cruise next appeared in The Firm (1993), a film adaptation of the John Grisham legal thriller of the same name, and in the same year also made his directorial debut by directing an episode of the anthology television series Fallen Angels. In 1992, he starred opposite Jack Nicholson in the legal drama A Few Good Men, an adaptation of the Broadway play of the same name also written by Aaron Sorkin. His next role was as anti-war activist Ron Kovic in the film adaptation of Kovic's memoir of the same name, Born on the Fourth of July (1989), for which he received the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor – Motion Picture Drama. In doing so Cruise became the first and only person as of 2014 to star in a Best Picture Oscar winner and a Worst Picture Razzie winner in the same year. Two years later, he starred with Dustin Hoffman in the Academy Award for Best Picture-winning drama Rain Man (1988), and also appeared in the Golden Raspberry Award for Worst Picture-winning romantic drama Cocktail (1988). In 1986, Cruise played a Naval Aviator in the Tony Scott-directed action drama Top Gun (the highest-grossing film that year), and also appeared with Paul Newman in the Martin Scorsese-directed drama The Color of Money. His breakthrough role was in the coming-of-age comedy Risky Business (1983), which garnered Cruise his first nomination for the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor – Motion Picture Musical or Comedy. Tom Cruise is an American actor and producer who made his film debut with a minor role in the 1981 romantic drama Endless Love. Paramount, however, which is sharing financing on the film with Skydance Productions, will be hoping that it can snag the Mission: Impossible star to put the Reacher pic in his diary for before, or, should it become necessary, after he shoots Oblivion for Joseph Kosinski.īut what do you lot think? Can Cruise play Reacher? Chime in here or on The Twitters.Cruise attending the Japan premiere of Jack Reacher: Never Go Back in 2016 Asked for comment on the casting idea by Deadline, he replied: "Reacher's size in the books is a metaphor for an unstoppable force, which Cruise portrays in his own way.” We’re not sure fans are going to go for it, but then Cruise hasn’t finally locked in a deal yet anyway. Still, Child (real name: Jim Grant) seems to think there’s a get-out clause. While Cruise has certainly carved out an action-packed career for himself, he’s certainly not what anyone would describe as the perfect man to play the 6’ 5” Jack Reacher. In One Shot, he investigates the case of a lone sniper murdering people before he’s caught, and discovers that there’s far more to the killings than anyone suspects. One Shot is the ninth in the Reacher series about the gruff former military policeman turned drifter, who has a habit of dishing out brutal violence to anyone who gets in his way.

Now we come full circle, as Cruise is in talks to snag the Reacher role. Then, last July, it was announced that Chris McQuarrie, who has worked with Cruise before, would be re-writing the script and making an argument for him to direct the eventual film.
If you’re A) a fan of Lee Child’s hard-nut hero Jack Reacher and B) have a long memory for film news stories about studios picking up the rights to books, you might just remember that Paramount and Cruise/Wagner productions bought up the option to film Child’s novel One Shot back in 2005.
