Amazon Prime Video series based on his books.Childs is happy that the TV show chose a different actor to play Reacher after Tom Cruise played him in two films.Fans were concerned over Cruise’s height, as Reacher is described in one book as “extremely tall, extremely broad, long-armed and long-legged,” with “hands the size of dinner plates.”Alan Ritchson — who is 6-foot-2 — stars in the new series as the titular character, while Cruise, 59, stands at 5-foot-7.Childs is an executive producer on the project and spoke to Metro about his thoughts on the recasting. “There was criticism from the book fans because they had built up a very clear image of what Reacher should look like,” Childs said. “It just became a different proposition and I guess the opportunity of thinking ‘Alright, we can get a much bigger guy so the book fans are going to be happy,’” the writer continued.

Jack Reacher series, has spoken about criticism from book fans about the casting of Tom Cruise in the 2012 film and its sequel.The character has just returned in the Amazon Prime Video series Reacher, this time played by Alan Ritchson.Some book fans were critical of Cruise as Reacher, particularly as the character is described at 6’5″ in the source material, while the actor is believed to be much shorter than that. However, many non-book fans liked Cruise in the role, so the new series had to “satisfy” both camps, according to Child.“There was criticism from the book fans because they had built up a very clear image of what Reacher should look like,” he told Metro.co.uk.Child added of casting Ritchson: “It just became a different proposition and I guess the opportunity of thinking ‘alright, we can get a much bigger guy so the book fans are going to be happy.’“But we’re also focusing on the non-book readers.

Alan Ritchson is opening up about an injury.

Wyatte Grantham-Philips editor“Reacher,” an Amazon series based on the beloved Lee Child books, premiered at a drive-in screening Wednesday night at The Grove in Los Angeles.“I love this character,” Alan Ritchson, who stars as Jack Reacher in the series, told Variety on the arrivals carpet. “And especially for novels… there’s no better medium than eight to 10 episodes. It’s the right amount of time to tell these stories.”The Jack Reacher saga, which has sold over 100 million book copies and was adapted into a pair of features starring Tom Cruise, continues to hold “such a wide reach.

Joshua Alston Know this about Jack Reacher: He’s an awfully tall drink of brackish water.No more than 10 minutes go by in “Reacher,” Prime Video’s series adaptation of Lee Child’s durable book franchise, without someone mentioning the eponymous character’s intimidating stature. Reacher, played here by Alan Ritchson (“Titans”), is described at various points as a “giant,” “Frankenstein’s monster,” and, without irony, as “250 pounds of frontier justice.” When characters aren’t conjuring turns of phrase to describe Reacher’s size, the camera is employing forced perspective techniques to render him even larger than the 6 feet 5 inches established in Child’s canon.The emphasis on Reacher’s physique is a good-faith gesture to fans of Child’s 26-and-counting novels, some of whom bristled at the pair of Reacher films featuring Tom Cruise as a featherweight version of the legendary bruiser.
