First Look: Jack Reacher Trailer with Tom Cruise

Was Paramount Pictures always planning a July 3rd launch of the first teaser trailer for Jack Reacher or is this a bit of sly marketing since Cruise is currently all over the news? On Friday, June 29th it was announced Cruise and Katie Holmes would be divorcing after five years of marriage and since that revelation, it’s been nearly impossible to go a day without seeing some news report on their break-up.

With Cruise making headlines, Paramount wants us to take a look at his big upcoming action film hitting theaters in December. Cruise stars in the big screen adaptation of Lee Child’s bestselling novel, adapted for the screen and directed by Christopher McQuarrie (writer of Valkyrie and The Tourist). Jack Reacher also features Rosamund Pike, Robert Duvall, and Richard Jenkins.
