A sequel to Christopher McQuarrie’s adaptation of the popular Lee Child’s character Jack Reacher seems to be moving forward. Last year’s Jack Reacher starring Tom Cruise, received mostly positive reviews but unfortunately didn’t made a big enough splash at the box-office for the studio to immediately jump on the opportunity to make a sequel, but since the film did gross just over $200 million, both Paramount and Skydance Production were “forced” to reconsider, which they did and now it seems that a sequel is being developed.
According to Deadline, Paramount and Tom Cruise are
fast tracking the Jack Reacher sequel based on another of Child’s novels,
titled Never Go Back. The story finds Reacher going back to his old military
base in Virginia to rekindle with an old girlfriend, now a commanding officer,
only to see her behind bars. Once again Reacher must dig in search of the truth
to help out a friend.
McQuarrie should return to Reacher once his duties as
director of Mission: Impossible 5 which also stars Cruise are completed.
Never Go Back Novel Synopsis Via Amazon:
Former military cop Jack Reacher makes it all the way
from snowbound South Dakota to his destination in northeastern Virginia, near
Washington, D.C.: the headquarters of his old unit, the 110th MP. The old stone
building is the closest thing to a home he ever had.
Reacher is there to meet—in person—the new commanding
officer, Major Susan Turner, so far just a warm, intriguing voice on the phone.
But it isn’t Turner behind the CO’s desk. And Reacher
is hit with two pieces of shocking news, one with serious criminal
consequences, and one too personal to even think about.
When threatened, you can run or fight.
Reacher fights, aiming to find Turner and clear his
name, barely a step ahead of the army, and the FBI, and the D.C. Metro police,
and four unidentified thugs.
Combining an intricate puzzle of a plot and an
exciting chase for truth and justice, Lee Child puts Reacher through his
paces—and makes him question who he is, what he’s done, and the very future of
his untethered life on the open road.
