Tom Cruise and Christopher McQuerrie's Jack Reacher turned out a lot better than I was expecting. I actually walked out of that movie really loving it, and I hoped that we would get to see more films from this badass character. I know Cruise doesn't fit the role of the character from the books, but that still didn't stop me from enjoying the movie!
Paramount Pictures has announced that Jack Reacher 2 will be released on October 21st, 2016, and I couldn't be more happy about it. This is a character that deserved another adventure on the big screen. The sequel reunites Cruise with director Edward Zwick, who previously worked with Cruise on The Last Samurai. Marshall Herskovitz has also come on board to rewrite the script, which was initially written by Richard Wenk. How I Met Your Mother star Cobie Smulders has also apparently joined the cast as the female lead.
These films are based on the books by Lee Childs, and they focus on a former Major in the United States Army Military Police Corps. He quit at age 36 and he roams the United States taking odd jobs and investigating suspicious and frequently dangerous situations.
You all know what I think about a sequel to this movie, so what do you think about it?
