dirty boy said: Goodfellas - Joe Pesci played Thomas DeSimone who was a huge guy in real life, he carried the role off perfectly. Yeah but nobody who isn't in to their true crime knows who Thomas DeSimone is then or now. Reachers size is part of his character, there is huge emphasis put on that feature throughout the entire series of books. He's supposed to be intimidating. I like Cruise but I have my doubts how this will work out.

The % of people who watch the movie who will have read the books is tiny so that particular issue is irrelevant.

Sorry, but that's simply not true - sales of around 60 million Reacher books means that a fair proportion of the film audience will have read at least one book. After all, the film wouldn't exist without the popularity of the books.

It's a non-event - 60 million sold, 40 million actually read, 20 million will see the film, 5 million will give serious thought to how tall the actor is, 3 million will think he's too short and 1 million will actually be bothered (and 7 will post on PH about it)

Why not save the money and simply do a similar story.

VERY worried about this now, that shot is a million miles away from how I imagine Reacher to look  If this had been made 10 years ago I would've suggested this guy:
