Reacher: “We can’t make the same mistake twice” … this is a great regret for the creator’s actor!

Adaptation of a popular novel in a movie theater or series is a potentially dangerous process, especially when it comes to choosing the right actors to portray characters that are already loved by readers. And one of the most obvious changes between the literary version and the representation of the character film is Tom Cruz’s choice for Jackie Reacher.

If you have already thrown one book Jack reseacher An extremely entertaining child, you know that the author will not delay to remind the reader that his protagonist is an incredibly imposed person. Its 1m95 from the top and its 113kg stronger, Reacher is a colossus that has “plate size dimensions” and blonde hair. Few people are as imposed on the planet that gives him a significant physical advantage over the many bad guys he meets in books.

“” “It is an integral part of his approach to the universe and the approach of the universe to it. It is huge, ruthless, dangerous, and although Tom has the ability to reveal the essence of approaching, it is neither enormous nor dangerous. Readers were terribly upset and I think they were right.»

The author also convinced the subway last month, adding: “After returning from the stick, which we got about the cruise, I said to myself, “Now it’s really crucial. You can’t make the same mistake twice.»

Alan Richson’s Jerry

So when it was necessary to choose a new actor to portray a character in a premier video series, just called Reacher, Lee baby Decided not to make the same mistake.

His opinion on the performance of Alan Riccson in the series? “” “Alan was born to play Reacher and I think he knows it“He told The Independent. Although To make It’s a real success.

“” “For example, in one of Tom Cruz’s films, there is a replica where the inspector goes to Motel and says, “I’m looking for a guy who could kill someone with one punch,” and they appoint Tom Cruise, which is not really appropriate. If you appoint Alan, yes it is advisable”Said the subway writer on the day of the 3rd season’s release, which is currently broadcasting.
