And one other comment about Morgan Freeman - I agree I didn't see him as Alex and he did a good job, but at least they didn't cast a young white guy - which is the equivalent to me:) <br />Again, thanks for all the comments!S.L.

But then it is always easier to say you are not responsible for the outcome as everybody knows Hollywood do whatever they want to the original book ;DAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6582932888892465523.post-50384367221736685632011-06-17T14:38:34.309-04:002011-06-17T14:38:34.309-04:00My husband is the Lee Child reader in this family ...My husband is the Lee Child reader in this family and he has been adament that there is no, no, no way that Cruise can play Reacher. No way, no how. He choked on his cereal the morning I told him about it and I had to go pound him on the back. <br /><br />Almost makes me want to pick up a Reacher book and read it in order to have an opinion. Hubby also didn't think that Mark Wahlberg was a good choice for Stephen Hunter's character, Bob Lee Swagger - too young, too, too, too. :-)<br /><br />But, I bet they are paying Lee Child a lot of money.

As for Tom Cruise playing Jack Reacher? No, not my thing, either, actually. <br /><br />And in a larger sense, you've got a very good point; I think most authors have a point beyond which they won't go, even for a lot of money. For all of us that point is different, and thanks for making me think about that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
