Ed Zwick is in talks to helm the sequel of Tom Cruise starrer film ‘Jack Reacher.’
Paramount and Skydance are negotiating with Zwick and Marshall Herskovitz to rewrite Richard Wenk’s script for ‘ Jack Reacher 2,’ with Cruise back in the lead, Deadline.com reported.
The 2012 film, which was penned and helmed by Christopher McQuarrie, had made 218.3 million dollars worldwide.
The movie, which will be based on the Lee Child’s 2013 book ‘Never Go Back,’ will show Reacher head back to his old military base in Virginia to take a woman to dinner who is now the commanding officer. By the time he gets there, she has been arrested, and Reacher finds himself being charged with pummeling one guy and fathering a child with a woman.
McQuarrie will remain as executive producer on the project with Cruise and Don Granger. (ANI)
