Tom Cruise sure likes sci-fi at the moment. He’s already shot Oblivion, should start filming All You Need Is Kill soon and now Variety reports that he’s become attached to another sci-fi script called Our Name Is Adam.

TS Nowlin is behind the screenplay, but at the moment there’s no info on the story, although the title certainly hints at cloning – so perhaps we’ll be getting thousands of Tom Cruises in the movie (I can imagine he’d quite like that).

However before all this sci-fi, in December we get Jack Reacher, where Cruise plays Lee Child’s title character, an ex-military investigator, who looks into the case of a trained military sniper who shot five random victims, which turns out to be far deeper and darker than he expected. A new poster for the film has been released, suggested Tom doesn’t have any limits! You can take a look at that above.

I wonder if there’s a clause in Tom Cruise’s contracts that ensures that at least one poster for each of his films is a giant close-up of his face. The one for his upcoming Jack Reacher has now arrived via Yahoo!, with Cruise looking suitably brooding and slightly bloodied.

The movie hits cinemas in December and sees Cruise as Lee Childs’ Jack Reacher, an ex-military investigator, who looks into the case of a trained military sniper who shot five random victims, which turns out to be far deeper and darker than he expected.

Tom Cruise has been busy shooting an adaptation of One Shot, in which he takes on Lee Child’s popular character Jack Reacher. Now EW has revealed the first official image from the movie, which you can see above.

There has been some controversy over this adaptation, since Jack Reacher is a hulking 6’5″ man in Lee Child’s noveld, and Tom Cruise is only 5’7″. The actor recently revealed that the author approved of his casting, saying, “For those of you who know the books, I’m obviously not 6-foot-5, like Jack Reacher. But Lee felt that I was the right guy to drive fast cars and kick the s-t out of people onscreen.”

In the novel, Reacher looks into the case of a trained military sniper who shot five random victims. Director Christopher McQuarrie comments on the character, “Someone asks him at one point in the story about the difference between a military policeman and a regular cop. Reacher points out that [for military police], every suspect is a trained killer. He is free from any sort of anxiety. He is truly not encumbered by all the bulls-t that makes up our daily lives. He literally and figuratively has no baggage.”
