Werner Herzog As Villain in ONE SHOT Starring Tom Cruise
Well, here’s something strange. Of all the people in the world, writer and director Werner Herzog is set to play the villain in the upcoming Christopher McQuarrie’s adaptation of Lee Child‘s novel One Shot.
We already wrote so much about this project, but that doesn’t mean we have no write to be confused with this decision. Right?
Herzog is without a doubt a great guy. And he will be great in the role of an ex-prisoner of war who arranges and stages the killing and is the head of the conspiracy – character named The Zec.

Tom Cruise in Christopher McQuarrie’s Thriller One Shot
Tom Cruise is definitely very busy man these days. And no, we’re not here to chat about Mission Impossible franchise, because Cruise is now attached to star in the thriller based on the Lee Child bestselling book series about the former military policeman-turned-drifter, movie titled One Shot.
The whole thing will be directed by Christopher McQuarrie, who is also attached as the writer.

Tom Cruise in Talks for McQuarrie-directed Thriller One Shot
If you are, by any chance, a longtime fan of Way of The Gun, the Christopher McQuarrie-directed crime thriller starring Benicio Del Toro and Ryan Philippe, than you’ve been probably waiting to hear what McQuarrie would direct next. And if you’re hoping for The Wolverine (which he also scripted), this is even better because Deadline reveals Tom Cruise has entered talks to star as Jack Reacher in One Shot, an adaptation of the Lee Child’s novel that McQuarrie is set to helm.
Star Blazers Targeted For Christopher McQuarrie
According to Deadline Brothers Ellison’s Skydance Productions was negotiating to buy the rights to the 1970s Japanese animation series Star Blazers, and would hire scribe Christopher McQuarrie to write the script for a big budget live-action film adaptation.
Also, Ellison and Josh C. Kline will produce the manga together with McQuarrie. The series, an American dub of the Japanese anime “Space Battleship Yamato,” follows a spaceship, built from the remains of a WW2 battleship that flees Earth after a war with a race known as the Gamilons, and a last rush journey through space to save the planet.
The production rights aren’t bought yet,–Ain’t It Cool reports that Lucasfilm is also in the race. But it seems like Skydance are the probable winners, mostly with an Oscar-nominated writer involved, one who’s gained tentpole experience recently, writing The Wolverine for Darren Aronofsky. Let’s remind that earlier The Usual Suspects earned McQuarrie an Oscar for Best Screenplay.
