Tom Cruise in talks to play Lee Child's Jack Reacher

They have got to be kidding...Tom Cruise in talks to play and produce One Shot...

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0790724/

Every Reacher book has his CV on page 4. This part is from the official website...
http://www.leechild.com/reacher.php

Name: Jack Reacher (no middle name)
Born: October 29th
Measurements: 6'5", 220-250 lbs., 50" chest
Hair: Dirty-blond
Eyes: Ice blue
Clothing: 3XLT coat, 95 cm. pants' inseam

Reacher left home at 18, graduated from West Point. Performed 13 years of Army service, demoted from Major to Captain in 1990, mustered out with the rank of Major in 1997.

NOTHING in that comes close to describing Cruise...even Judi Dench would be closer cos she used to be blond

Personally I think Aaron Eckhart (The Core, Battle: Los Angeles) would be a great Jack Reacher or maybe Chris Hemsworth (Thor) but NEVER Tom Cruise.

Surely not?

Every book portrays how physically intimidating he is, Tom Cruise would look small next to some jockeys!

You've got to be kidding me. Tom ******* Cruise??? Reacher is indestructable, a loner, understated dangerous. Cruise is short, superficial SHOW ME THE MONEY get ******! Crap decision that could ruin a potentially great franchaise.

Who the hell is Jack Reacher? Is he from the Twilight books?
