IMHO, Katherine Heigl is the female equivalent of David Caruso. In other words, an adequate TV actor whose ego convinces them that they need to be a movie star, with predictably mediocre results.
I cannot believe ANYONE in Hollywood with half a brain let Cruise be Reacher. I know, I know, it's because his production company bought the rights or some bullshit like that, but seriously? Reacher is 6'5 for chrissakes. Cruise is 5'8 and that's WITH shoes on. And let's not talk about his acting....
What drives me insane is that author Lee Childs actually supports this casting. He doesn't have the physical presence, the craggy features or the much deeper voice that Reacher has in my own mind's eye. Yuck.
I was seriously disappointed when I watched One for the Money last weekend with a friend who had already seen it. She warned me. Did they even read the books before they cast and shot the movie? WTH?

ReplyDeleteGlad to see I am not the only one disappointed with these castings. Two of my favorite series RUINED.
