The original novel pairs Cruise as the lead with not just one well-developed female sidekick - something that benefitted such recent Cruise action films as Edge of Tomorrow and Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation - but also a younger female partner in (stopping) crime, to boot. However, for the time being, the names of their characters in the film are being kept under-wraps likewise, Paramount has yet to release an official plot summary for the upcoming Never Go Back movie adaptation.Ĭhild's Never Go Back source material was adapted for the big screen by screenwriter Richard Wenk ( The Equalizer), though Wenk's script draft has been revised by Zwick and his writing partner, Marshall Herskovitz ( The Last Samurai, Love and Other Drugs). Official supporting cast members for Jack Reacher: Never Go Back now include Aldis Hodge ( Straight Outta Compton), Austin Hébert (the Bonnie & Clyde 2013 mini-series), and Holt McCallany ( Golden Boys, Blue Blood). Patrick Heusinger ( Black Swan, Girlfriends' Guide to Divorce), reported to be playing a hunter and a key antagonist in the movie.Danika Yarosh ( Heroes Reborn), expected to play a young woman who helps Reacher - and who may or may not be his biological daughter - as he sets out to clear his name.that is, before the pair get entangled in a conspiracy and have to prove their innocence. Cobie Smulders ( The Avengers 1 & 2, How I Met Your Mother), rumored to play an army base commander whom Reacher (a former military police officer himself) is romantically interested in.Here are the other cast members, along with potential details about their characters in the film: The film is based on Lee Child's book "Never Go Back" (as was previously reported) - Child's 18th installment in the Jack Reacher novel series overall - and reunites Cruise with his The Last Samurai director, Oscar-winner Edward Zwick, while his Jack Reacher director Christopher McQuarrie will serve as producer only this time around.Ĭruise, who is both headlining and producing Jack Reacher: Never Go Back, was included as part of the official cast listed in the press release issued by Paramount to announce the start of filming on the Jack Reacher sequel. Principal photography has officially begun on the Jack Reacher sequel, and the movie is now formally titled Jack Reacher: Never Go Back. However, one thing led to another and eventually a followup was green-lit by Paramount Pictures - one slated to reach theaters in almost exactly a year from now (at the time of writing this), in Fall 2016. ![]() We've seen Cruise play this role, but here, Smudlers presents herself as a full-on action star.Jack Reacher, the 2012 action/thriller starring Tom Cruise as its namesake, was a relatively moderate critical/commercial success when it opened in theaters hence, at first a sequel wasn't regarded as being a sure-thing for a while there. She is complex and badass and so damn cool. One scene late in the movie sees Turner giving a monologue about how, as a female in the Army, she is constantly being undermined by men who don't think she's as strong, smart, or capable - it's a speech that could just as easy be delivered by an actress working in an action movie. We are given an eye roll-worthy introduction to Turner - Reacher is noticeably taken aback that his commanding officer is a woman and the movie wastes no time framing her as his love interest - but it ultimately provides a juxtaposition for the fact that she is so much more. The freshest part of the Never Go Back is its treatment of Smulders' Major Turner. Plot holes, shmlot holes, you cry! Get back to the action! Director Edward Zwick (Cruise's The Last Samurai) certainly knows his way around an action scene and skillfully crafts a string of formidable set pieces: fights and shootouts and chase sequences, oh how many chase scenes! Reacher and Turner go on the run and do so. There's one point in Never Go Back where Reacher is so far ahead of everyone else - including the audience - that he connects a slew of completely unrelated plot points and another character objects, "What are you talking about? We don't know that any of these things are connected!" And we don't! And the movie never bothers to connect them. Both are always right, always one step ahead. You never question or underestimate either of them. Both Reacher and Ethan Hunt are too cool. Jack Reacher, the character, exemplifies the same fundamental problem I wrote about in regard to the last offering in Cruise's action canon, Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation. ![]()
