Girlfriend for Tom Cruise
Work on the adaptation of Lee Child "One Shot" is in full swing. By adopting the lead role of Tom Cruise, the studio began looking for a partner for him. This weekend director Christopher McQuarrie met with three actresses.
It is known that the studio is looking for an actress with a name, but not so well-known to be in the list of Category A. Favorite star of McQuarrie was Brit Marling, but the actress could not find time to work on "One Shot".
Last Saturday the director has seen with three girls: Hayley Atwell, Alexa Davalos and Rosamund Pike. Some of them will get the role of a sharp lawyer and part-time district attorney's daughter.
The most famous of the trio is an English Rosamund Pike. She became famous thanks to the role of villain Miranda Frost in one of the films of James Bond "Die Another Day, but not now." The actress was seen in costume drama "Pride and Prejudice" and "The Libertine" as well as in the films "An Education" and "Surrogates."
Compatriot of Pike actress Hayley Atwell became known to the world this year alone thanks to "The First Avenger," where she played a woman of Captain America. Atwell starred in several British projects, including the dramas "The Duchess" and "Brideshead Revisited."
Alexa Davalos are known thanks to the "Battle of the Titans", starring Andromeda. But perhaps even better known for her blockbuster role in "The Chronicles of Riddick."
"The Shot" - a screen version of one of the novels of the series about detective Jack Richer from writer Lee Child. All the books of the series became best sellers in the world.
Christopher McQuarrie is taken for setting the film on the ninth novel of Richer. Invisible sniper starts shooting people in the heart. Six shots - five of the victims. City is plunged into horror. However, in a few hours the police finds offender. And though all the clues point to him, the suspected one denies everything. He said that police had arrested the wrong guy, and Jack needs to find the Richer. But that can bind to a complete psychopath with a former military police officer?
Filming of "The Shot" will begin this fall.
