Lee Child Again...

[Quizmonster]

...and still not a question, but rather more information for fans of his novels.
On BBC 1 at 10.45 this evening, as part of the programme, Film 2012, there is a review of the film, 'Jack Reacher'.
Later, at 12.20 on BBC2 and BBC HD, in a programme called 'The Knight Errant', there is a one-hour interview with Lee Child.

thanks Quizmonster, may skip the review as I can't watch Tom Cruise, but will chekc out the interview.

Thanks for that. Real fan of his books. Disappointed in the choice of actor for the part but remain open minded till I see the film.

I've seen trailers for this film and Tom Cruise was having to look up at the other actors in the scene! Talk about miscasting, it's ludicrous, especially as there's no shortage of tall actors who would make a better job of the role IMO.

[Quizmonster]

I agree with nearly everyone's view as to the unsuitability of Tom Cruise in my mind's eye as Reacher. However, in a recent short interview, Lee Child said that he was perfectly happy with the casting. He may have more to add later tonight. As a matter of interest, Lee himself has a part in the film!

i think i read the same interview, he seemed very happy that tom was in the role and was right for it.

I just can't get over the physical difference's in my head. Its like the bourne books/films. it annoys me too much to watch

Tom Thumb is Jack Reacher!

Lee Child probably doesn't care who plays Jack Reacher so long as he gets the money for the film rights and royalties. It's a pity he doesn't seem to care about his readers and the image of 'Big' jack that we all have in our minds. I won't watch the film as it will ruyin the books for me.

if carol winklepicker is still presenting it i can't watch she's painful, her research skills are to be commended though as she seems to know alot or abit about everything

[tigerlelly]

or ruin, even!

Maybe L. Ron interceded on his behalf to get him the job.
