Tom Cruise Up For Jack Reacher Sequel, Based On Never Look Back

December 10, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Jack-Reacher-posterJack Reacher may not have been a massive blockbuster, but with a $220 million worldwide gross (on a $60 million budget), Paramount has decided it’s worth making a sequel. Deadline reports that Paramount Pictures and Skydance Productions are officially developing a follow-up based on Lee Child’s novel, Never Look Back. Tom Cruise is once more attached to star.

It’s not clear when it may shoo. Rumours had suggested they may try to slot it in before Tom shoots Mission: Impossible 5, which is set for release on December 25, 2015. Paramount are currently denying that claim, although they did confirm that this sequel is on the fast track.

Never Look Back is the latest of the Jack Reacher novels. It sees Jack return to his old military base in Virginia, where he is set to take the new female commanding officer out to dinner. However he discovers that she has been arrested, and Jack is also facing charges of assaulting a man and fathering a child. Reacher has no recollection of any of these things happening, which understandably starts him looking into what has happened.

Paramount is currently seeking writers for the project. Christopher McQuarrie wrote and directed Jack Reacher, but now that he’s signed up for Mission: Impossible 5, he doesn’t have time to write the Reacher sequel at the moment. However, if Never Look Back does shoot after M:I5, McQuarrie way direct.

The movie is based on Jean-Patrick Manchette’s novel, which follows a businessman who is hunted down by a pair of sociopaths after witnessing a murder on the coast of France. The book was previously adapted into a graphic novel by Jacques Tardi, which was nominated for two Eisner Awards.

Howard A. Rodman (Savage Grace, August) is on board to write the screenplay adaptation. Another Jean-Patrick Manchette adaptation, The Gunman, is set for release next year, starring Sean Penn, Idris Elba and Javier Bardem.

mission-impossible-ghost-protocol-posterIt’s been suggest Tom Cruise is keen to get Mission: Impossible 5 out as soon as possible, with some suggestions we might even get it before the end of 2014. However Paramount Pictures has now announced we’ll be making a little longer, as they’ve dated it for December 25th, 2015, according to TheWrap.

At the moment the only other movie set for that date is Warner Bros.’ Live by Night, Ben Affleck’s adaptation of Dennis Lehane’s novel. However, it’s still going to have a battle for action fans, as it’s coming just a week after the highly-anticipated Star Wars: Episode VII. Warcraft and Kung Fu Panda 3 will also be out not long before it as well.

Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol, which earned more than $700 million worldwide after it opened just a few days before Christmas in 2011. Tom Cruise is producing and returning as IMF agent Ethan Hunt. Christopher McQuarrie (Jack Reacher) is directing from a script by Drew Pearce (Iron Man 3). Production is set to start next February in London.
