The $57 million dollar adaptation of author Lee Child's Jack Reacher book One Shot has made
went on to gross $218 million worldwide at the box-office and did very good business on disc and VOD. The reviews for 'Reacher' were solid, but not spectacular.
The most recent book in the series, "Never Go Back" will form the basis for this follow-up. In this story, Reacher (Tom Cruise) heads back to the northeastern Virginia headquarters of the elite military police unit he once ran to have a dinner with the woman now in his old job, Major Susan Turner. When he gets there it all goes to hell - Turner has been arrested while he faces a homicide charge, a paternity suit, and the military using a legal loophole to demand he go back into the Army.
There was hope that the studio might try and get the film done before filming "Mission: Impossible 5," but that plan has been nixed. They still want to fast track the next installment--A writers search is currently underway.
Christopher McQuarrie adapted and directed "Jack Reacher," is too busy with MI5 prep to pen the script. However, both Cruise and the suits hope that he'll return to direct the Reacher 2.
