Before the Breakout -Sucrence with Reacher On Prime Video, two of Lee Child’s novels with the righteous and Herculean titular character had been adapted to the big screen starring Tom Cruise. After the mixed critical reception to the second of these film adaptations, a decision was made to turn to a TV series. It is one that fans of the character certainly seem to have appreciated as well as its original creator.
I am totally convinced that no book author would ever make a feature film in the process of [a streaming TV series]
Lee Child, Jack Reacher -Author and Reacher Producer
It has been an interesting experience for Child that has been involved in both film and TV adaptations – and currently acts as a performer of Reacher.
Given streaming -tv has been a relatively recent development within the lifetime of Reacher Novels, the first of which were released in 1997, it makes sense that a movie would be the first choice for an adaptation.
But now the technology is advanced and the streaming TV series is well established, Child has settled down in a favorite way to bring Reacher to the screen after his experience in both.
“My preference is for streaming TV. Just for the driving time you’ve got. It’s such a luxury. Feature movie is so tight that it’s an absolute pleasure to have time to make all the little bits they quiet Bits, the fun bits, and the sore bits.
“I am definitely convinced that no book author would ever make a feature film in preference for it. Of course, there are some good, good movies, but they are very different from the books. While the streaming seasons can be very true to the books.”
The move seems to have paid for herself for ReacherAlso with monumental streaming numbers and a strong critical reception for the first two series. Now, Reacher Season 3 is about to fall on Prime Video on February 20 with an adaptation of Persuading: “A classic lonely-wolf-ranking history”, where he sits in more dangerous situations while undercovering with DEA.
Then it could be season four when we watch TV adaptations of the books A shot and Never go backOr are the stories considered in children’s eyes?
“In my mind they are not done now. I would resume them absolutely but I don’t think as an urgent question. Let’s do something that has not yet been done in any medium. But yes, I would definitely make those who were features, but they are on the back burner rather than the next one. “
As for what’s in waiting Reacher Season 4, yes, we might find out before you think. The plans have been moving for a while since the early October renewal and progress at a pace.
“It has already been decided and prepared in advance. It’s written and it’s ready to go. It will start shooting in the summer. The speculation about what next would really be about season five. And you know, let’s hope it happens. “
The first three episodes of Reacher Season 3 debuts on Prime Video from February 20th.
