BOB and Jack Reacher

BOB and Jack Reacher

This morning - on my other blog –

I posted this question –

• If they made a movie – who should play Jack Reacher?

My answer was -

Josh Brolin. I heard/read somewhere that “they” were thinking of making a Jack Reacher movie - based on the books written by Lee Child – and casting Tom Cruise as Jack. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! If they cast Tom Cruise – they will ruin the whole thing – and I, for one, won’t watch the movie. Jack and Josh are “tall, dark, and handsome” - Tom is short and creepy. That’s just my opinion – I could be wrong.

Then Mad about Craft asked who Jack Reacher was.

Very good question –

I knew -

but how to explain to someone who had never heard of him??

So I did what everyone does –

I googled “Jack Reacher” –

And I found a link to Lee Child’s website –

Then I emailed her back and said -

Jack Reacher is the main character in a series of books by Lee Child. Rather than try to explain - here's a link to Lee Child's website.

And I guess I'm too late - they already cast Tom Cruise.

============

But that’s not my rant – 

THIS is my rant –

Not only did I find Lee Child’s website –

I found THIS – here -

with a photo of Lee GRANT.

Somebody needs to tell them that - 

Lee GRANT is NOT Lee CHILD!!

According to Wikipedia – here - 

Jim Grant's pen name is Lee CHILD - 

And Lee GRANT -

According to Wikipedia - here -

Is a woman – and an academy award winning actress – and a film director -

NOT the author of the Jack Reacher novels!!

Good grief!!

Doesn’t anyone check ANYTHING anymore??



But then again – it’s probably just me.
