But the accused man claims he's innocent and says "Get Jack Reacher.". Reacher himself sees the news report and turns up in the city. The defense are immensely relived; but Reacher has come to bury the guy. Shocked at the accused's request, Reacher sets out to confirm for himself the absolute certainty of the man's guilt, but comes up with more than he bargained for.

Three actresses compete to star with Tom Cruise's Jack Reacher [14th August 2011 09:57:18]

Three actresses are currently reading for the female lead opposite Tom Cruise's Jack Reacher in One Shot.

The Hollywood Reporter has revealed that Hayley Atwell, Alexa Davalos and Rosamund Pike are in contention for the role, which is said to be a tough female lawyer.

Atwell proved a likeably no-nonsense foil to Chris Evans' Captain America in this summer's superhero period piece, and given Cappy's fate, it looks unlikely she'll be recruited for The Avengers.

She also appeared in The Duchess and Brideshead Revisited, so she hasn't yet had a mainstream role in a modern-day setting.

Alexa Davalos may not be a recognisable name, but she has a solid list of credits to her name including Clash Of The Titans, Defiance and The Mist. We'll just skip over The Chronicles Of Riddick...

Pike is possibly the most experienced of the bunch, but despite getting an early breakout in Die Another Day, she's never hit the A-list. That said, she has delivered some impressive supporting turns (An Education, Barney's Version) amid some more generic fare (Doom, Fracture).

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Brit Marling (Another Earth) was also on the list, but she bowed out early due to scheduling conflicts. The studio are said to be after a not-yet-A-list actress for the role.

There was significant uproar when Cruise nabbed the role of Reacher, the six-foot-something, taciturn badass who's the lead character in Lee Child's series of novels.

Cruise's casting has certainly increased the intrigue factor of One Shot, as all eyes will be on the grinning megastar to see if he can pull off a major image reinvention.

Christopher McQuarrie is writing and directing the adaptation, which is set to shoot this autumn. Source: www.totalfilm.com
