Last Saturday Rosamund Pike was up against Alexa Davalos (Clash Of The Titans) and Hayley Atwell (Captain America) for a coveted role in One Shot and villainous Bond girl is now chosen to star opposite Tom Cruise. Pike is ready to tackle the new role of a tough lawyer Helen Rodin who is also the District Attorney's daughter. Obviously, writer and director Christopher McQuarrie (Oscar winner for writing The Usual Suspects) and Paramount people have been hard at work.
One Shot is the ninth book in the series of Jack Reacher novels by Lee Child. The crime thriller follows the story of Cruise's Jack Reacher, ‘an ex-Army cop who gets sucked into the mystery surrounding the arrest of a sniper accused of killing five random people in a shooting.' Furthermore, ‘Reacher is teamed with a beautiful young defense lawyer, moving closer to the unseen enemy who is pulling the strings.'
For those who claim Cruise shouldn't have been chosen the author of the hit series, Lee Child, insists Cruise's height shouldn't matter:
Reacher's size in the books is a metaphor for an unstoppable force, which Cruise portrays in his own way.
However, Paramount plans to begin shooting next month in Pittsburgh and release One Shot on February 8, 2013.
An English actress, so good lately in Barney's Version, will next be seen alongside Rowan Atkinson in Johnny English Reborn and Clash of the Titans 2 alongside Sam Worthington.
Check her out in the Barney's Version trailer, playing his third wife.
