Paramount Working on Jack Reacher Sequel

(CelebNMusic247-News) Paramount Working on Jack Reacher Sequel

Despite the film falling short of the studio’s box office, Paramount studio heads are reportedly turning over the idea of a sequel to Tom Cruise action vehicle Jack Reacher, according to reports.

Here’s the drop:

Having been met with critical indifference, the film had also performed sluggishly in the US, leading to reports that Paramount was set to cut its losses on the would-be franchise.

However, since then, the film’s global performance (in which Cruise’s star-power has been an undoubted factor) has seen it crawl to $200m worldwide, still $50m short of the studio’s $250 million target, but enough to make it think twice.

With the origin story introductions out of the way, Paramount’s thinking is that a sequel might have a wider appeal than the original, with Cruise’s involvement also likely to preclude an out-and-out bomb.

The project hasn’t been given the green light just yet, but studio bosses are thought to be crunching the numbers on a potential sequel.

With a raft of subject material available in the form of Lee Child’s novels, don’t be surprised to see Jack Reacher given a second chance to shine in the not-too-distant future…
