Actor
Tom
Cruise
is
all
set
to
work
in
Christopher
McQuarrie's
latest
flick
One
Shot.
The
actor
is
said
to
be
playing
the
lead
role
in
this
thriller,
which
is
based
on
the
novel
by
Lee
Child
of
the
same
name.
The
Mission
Impossible
star
will
most
likely
be
portraying
the
character
of
an
ex-army
officer
called
Jack
Reacher.
The
novel
is
centered
around
the
character
of
Jack
Reacher,
who
somehow
gets
involved
in
a
mystery,
where
a
sniper
specialist
gets
arrested
for
shooting
and
killing
five
random
people.
Lee
Child's
website
carries
an
official
description
of
his
novel
which
says,
“There"s
deadly
trouble
in
the
corn
country
of
Nebraska
…
and
Jack
Reacher
walks
right
into
it.
First
he
falls
foul
of
a
local
clan
that
has
terrified
an
entire
county
into
submission.
But
it"s
the
unsolved
case
of
a
missing
child,
already
decades-old,
that
Reacher
can"t
let
go."
Tom
Cruise
and
Christopher
McQuarrie
have
worked
together
in
the
sets
of
the
Nazi-based
film
Valkyrie
in
2008.
McQuarrie
had
co-written
the
screenplay
of
this
movie
with
Nathan
Alexander.
Cruise
on
the
other
hand
will
be
starring
in
another
movie
called
Rock
of
Ages,
with
the
likes
of
Alec
Baldwin
and
Russell
Brand,
where
he
will
be
playing
the
role
of
an
ageing
rockstar
called
Stacee
Jaxx.
