Rosamund Pike will star opposite Tom Cruise in "One Shot," the crime thriller that likely will be shot in Pittsburgh this fall and winter. Ms. Pike had been in contention with Hayley Atwell and Alexa Davalos.
Deadline.com and The Hollywood Reporter broke the news that Ms. Pike, who did a screen test Saturday for director Christopher McQuarrie, emerged as the leading lady. She will play Helen Rodin, a young attorney hired to defend a man accused in the shooting deaths of five people.
Mr. Cruise doesn't match the physical description of Jack Reacher, a footloose ex-military investigator who doubts the official version of events, but Ms. Pike is a good fit. Author Lee Child writes in the novel that inspired the movie:
"She was probably no more than 30, quite tall, lightly built. Slim, in an athletic sort of way. Not anorexic. Either she ran or played soccer or had been very lucky with her metabolism.
"She had long blond hair and her father's blue eyes. There was intelligence behind them."
Ms. Pike recently appeared in "Barney's Version," "Made in Dagenham" and "An Education."
The book also has small but choice roles for other women, assuming they make the cinematic cut: A woman from Reacher's past who is a brigadier general, a local TV reporter drawn into the investigation and the sister of the accused sniper.
The novel is set in a quiet city in the state of Indiana although Paramount has had no comment on whether Pittsburgh would play itself or cheat for another city and when filming might take place.

Tom Cruise - Electronic Dance Star Com Truise Hopes Tom Cruise Likes His Music
Tom Cruise has been given a new musical boost - an aspiring electronic star has adopted his name for a new space-age project.
New Jersey designer/musician Seth Haley is hoping to hit the world's dancefloor charts as Com Truise, a robotic astronaut who performs music inspired in part by the movie star's films Risky Business and Top Gun.
And it won't be long before he's on Cruise's radar - his debut album, Galactic Melt, is gaining rave reviews.
Haley's manager Matt Cutler only hopes the film star doesn't object to the link.
He tells WENN, "We haven't had any kind of response from Tom Cruise or his people and, to be honest, I don't think he has a strong case against us using Com Truise. That said, I still cringe every time I see a tweet linking Truise to Tom Cruise.
"The music is not offensive in any way but if we have to change the name in the future, then we'll have to change the name."
Truise, who is billed as "the world's first synthetic/robotic astronaut... who becomes one with his newfound cosmos, like Pinocchio becoming a real boy," is set to tour North America later this month (Aug11).
The trek begins at Solar Culture in Arizona on 30 April (11).

Viola Davis made up lie about Tom Cruise standing on Oscar dress
Viola Davis made up a lie about Tom Cruise stepping on the designer dress she wore to the 2009 Academy Awards in a bid to boost bids for the item in an online auction.
The Doubt star dazzled on the red carpet in a gold Reem Acra halter neck gown at the Oscars and decided to sell off the dress to raise money for charity.
After struggling to draw attention to the lot when she first posted it on eBay.com, the actress resorted to telling tales to boost the appeal of the outfit.
She says: "I tried to sell it on eBay. I said after (the Oscars) I can't wear it anymore, I can't just stick it in the closet. So I said, let me get a little money out of this. I was thinking, 'I could give it to charity and all that. I could get $3,000 out of this'.
"It wouldn't sell and I had my little agent pushing it and everything... She said, 'Tell me something about the dress.' I was like, 'I wore it at the Academy Awards!' So I made something up. I said, 'Tom Cruise stepped on it!'"
However, even the little white lie about the Mission: Impossible superstar couldn't shift the dress - Davis admits she got "nothing" for the outfit, even after making up the tale.

Tom Cruise Is Taylor Lautner's Action Idol, 'Abduction' Star Says
Taylor Lautner is ready to abduct the title of Hollywood's resident action star when "Abduction" hits theaters September 23, but he didn't get there without a little inspiration from some of the genre's greatest actors.
When MTV caught up with the "Twilight Saga" star at San Diego Comic-Con this week, he revealed that he did more than admire the top action actors: He studied them. Considering "Abduction" is being described along the lines of the "Bourne" movies and "Minority Report," it makes sense that Tom Cruise and Matt Damon are among Lautner's biggest role models.
"I studied film with John Singleton while preparing for the movie, and I chose Tom Cruise, Matt Damon, Denzel Washington, Harrison Ford; we just went down the list," Lautner explained. "It would be an honor to have a tenth the career that those guys have."

Tom Cruise to star in thriller 'One Shot
Top Gun' star Tom Cruise has confirmed that he will be starring in Christopher McQuarrie-directed thriller 'One Shot'.
Cruise, 49, will be starring in the film, which has been adapted from the 2005 Lee Child novel of the same name.
"Tom will play the rugged Jack Reacher in the movie 'One Shot'," Contactmusic quoted a post on his official blog as saying.
In the blog, an explanation of the plot was given as follows: "Jack travels to Indiana to investigate the murder of five people gunned down by a sniper.
"The police easily track and capture the lone gunman, James Barr, but the seemingly airtight case is anything but when Reacher gets involved."
McQuarrie is also co-writer of Cruise's next film, 'Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol', which will see him reprise his role as IMF agent Ethan Hunt and will be released in December.

Tom Cruise to star in movie based on Lee Child books
Tom Cruise is slated to portray Jack Reacher in the big screen adaptation of Lee Child's best sellers. The books document the life of Reacher, an ex-military officer who became a drifter, Deadline reports.
Expect Cruise to undergo quite the transformation when shooting begins. According to the New York Times, Reacher is 6 foot 5 and weighs 250. While fans of One Shot have voiced their concerns over the casting, Child is supportive of Cruise bringing his character to life.
“Reacher’s size in the books is a metaphor for an unstoppable force, which Cruise portrays in his own way,” Child said.
One Shot tells the story of Reacher as he looks into the murder of five people at the hands of a sniper.
The Christopher McQuarrie-directed film is scheduled to start filming this fall. McQuarrie's writing credits include The Usual Suspects, Valkyrie and the forthcoming installment of the Mission Impossible series.

Tom Cruise’s Eye Of The Tiger
“No, I’m the survivor,” bellowed Tom Cruise at his surprise 49th birthday bash in which teeny kids threatened to steal all the attention. Running around with their faces painted, Tom was determined not to be upstaged and by the brats. “Make me the head ThunderCat,” he demanded of the on-site make-up artist, before turning to the kids, insisting, “That’s right kiddos, I’m Lion-O now – Lord of the ThunderCats with my mighty Sword of Omens. Obey me.” At this point Suri, with head in hands, despaired, “First Scientology now this? Purrlease papa, stop being such a pussy!”

The movie superstar, who plays rocker Stacee Jaxx in the film, says, "It's a concert scene and it's (me singing) Dead or Alive and it goes into where Stacee's performing in a stadium and so there'll be a big show.
"Then, there's another song, (Journey's) Don't Stop Believin', where the whole cast will be on there... and we'll perform that."
In his Facebook.com alert, Shankman insists all those planning to attend Monday's concert filming must be at least 16, and he urges them to dress "Like the 80s! Big hair, make-up, and ALL BLACK rockin' clothes."
Meanwhile, Cruise admits he's having a blast.
Speaking to radio DJ Ryan Seacrest, who is dating Cruise's co-star Julianne Hough, on Wednesday (13Jul11), the actor said, "It's fun. I've never done a musical and I'm having a blast... I love this character.
"I saw Adam (Shankman) a few years ago after I saw Hairspray and I said, 'OK, man, where's our musical?' and he came to me with this."

Tom Cruise ‘kicked out of bed for snoring’
Tom Cruise, 49, is the latest star to create such a room when he converted a guest room at the 30 million dollar mansion he shares with his wife Katie Holmes.
The spaces are both padded and atmospherically-controlled in order to reduce the effects of snoring, and once the door is locked the user can not be heard from the outside.
Regular snoring affects around 25% of people, is more prevalent in men. The chances of a person snoring also increase the older that person gets.

Napoleon Bonaparte, Winston Churchill and Queen Victoria, while David Arquette “shook walls” with his snoring according to his ex-wife Courtney Cox, and Judith Sheindlin, more commonly known as Judge Judy, also installed such a room recently.

Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol' trailer: Tom Cruise vs. the world's tallest building
Confession: Until the first trailer for "Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol" hit the web on Wednesday (June 29), we were only mildly aware that a fourth "M:I" film was in the offing, let alone hitting theaters just before Christmas.
Now that we've seen the trailer, though, we're not only signficantly more aware of the movie's existence but also pretty impressed with what we see.
Tom Cruise is back as the impossible mission-having Ethan Hunt, and his "M:I-III" co-star Simon Pegg returns as well. Jeremy Renner and Paula Patton also star, along with Tom Wilkinson, "Lost's" Josh Holloway (glimpsed ever so briefly in the trailer) and Anil Kapoor of "Slumdog Millionaire" (not seen at all). The "Ghost Protocol" in the title apparently refers to Hunt and his IMF cohorts being purged from official existence after the Kremlin (yes, the whole freaking Kremlin) blows up.
Also of note: "Ghost Protocol" is the live-action directing debut of Brad Bird ("The Incredibles," "The Iron Giant"), who from the looks of things is comfortable with the big set pieces. The shots of Cruise scaling the Burj Khalifa, the world's tallest building, in Dubai are knockouts.

Julianne, who plays Sherrie Christian in the upcoming film, said she herself has been enjoying being on the set and donning the outrageous '80s rock-inspired outfits.
"I did not live through the '80s. I was born in the '80s, so the fact that I get to experience it is so fun," she told Access. "I mean, I'm looking at myself, but I'm really looking at my older sister, Sharee, with the hair and everything. So it is really fun."

Tom Cruise, perfect to play Lee Child's 6-foot-5 tough
Tom Cruise is in talks to play Jack Reacher, the 6-foot-5 tough guy created by author Lee Child. And Child says he doesn't mind that the actor, 10 inches shorter and perhaps a bit older than his fictional killer, may take on the role.
"Reacher's size in the books is a metaphor for an unstoppable force, which Cruise portrays in his own way," Child said, according to Deadline Hollywood, which has an exclusive report on the potential film deal.
Although the exact film in which Cruise may star is based on the Jack Reacher book "One Shot," the character figures in 15 books by Child. The latest, "Worth Dying For," hit the L.A. Times bestseller list. In all, Deadline Hollywood reports, Child's Jack Reacher books have sold more than 40 million copies.
Kenneth Turan explained the character in our pages in 2009:
As he details in his resume in "Gone Tomorrow," he started out in the Army, "thirteen years a military policeman, the elite 110th investigative unit, service all over the world." Then, when the Cold War ended, "suddenly getting cut loose."
On his own, Reacher decides less is more. He travels around the country with no luggage, no belongings, no home, nothing to tie him down. He goes with the flow to a certain extent, like those tourists who want to leave only footprints, but at a certain point something happens while he's around and he has no choice but to get involved and tidy up. ...
One of the great conceits of the Reacher novels, however, is [in the novel "Gone Tomorrow"] in force and that is the tendency of the folks he deals with to consistently underestimate him. Unlike Sherlock Holmes or Paul Temple, Reacher is not known to the criminal world, and the bad guys are always telling him, "Stay away from this," "You're out of your depth" and the ever-popular "You got lucky." You want to scream at them, "This is Jack Reacher for pity's sake, he'll eat you for breakfast!" He will, you know, and that's why we keep coming back for more.
If all goes as planned, "One Shot," starring Tom Cruise, will film in Pittsburgh before Cruise begins work on another film scheduled to begin shooting in January. But is Jack Reacher a match for Batman? Because "The Dark Knight Rises" is scheduled to film on those same city streets this summer.

Tom Cruise, Lea Thompson were completely 'naked' in 'All The Right Moves'
Actress Lea Thompson has revealed that she and actor Tom Cruise were completely naked for their make-out session in cult film 'All The Right Moves'.
"Everybody made a really big deal about it (Cruise being naked) and I was like, 'I'm naked too!,'" Contactmusic quoted her as saying on Access Hollywood Live.
Asked if she and Cruise were wearing protection and coverage, she added, "We couldn't do that... You could see the sides of us.
"I remember they were ready to shoot and it was a closed set and everything, and the DP (director of photography) said to me, 'Do you have any body make-up on,' and I said, 'What's that?' I was so young; I had no idea."
Thompson also admitted that it was a thrill to work with "committed" Cruise: "It was my second or third movie and I had never worked with anyone, like, real kind of method before. He taught me a lot. He was great."

Tom Cruise 'bummed out' when finishing filming Mission Impossible
Mission Impossible director Brad Bird said Tom Cruise was 'bummed out' when they finished filming scenes on the world's tallest building.
Cruise, 48, is reprising his role as Ethan Hunt for the fourth installment of the movie franchise, which the Incredibles director has taken the helm of.
Some of the scenes for the new movie were filmed on top of the Burj Khalifa, the world's tallest building, in Dubai and Bird spoke about Cruise's stunts on top of the building.
He said to MTV News: "It's big and it is crazy. I think the craziest thing is that they're real they're not digital. That's Tom Cruise on the tallest building in the world, he's doing all that stuff.
"People won't believe it, but we shot it in IMAX so it's there for everyone to see."
Bird added that Cruise was disappointed when scenes were finished on top of the building.
He said: "He actually lives for that stuff. He loves it. Loves it. The day we finished shooting on the Burj, everyone suddenly relaxed because nothing had happened, no one had gotten injured or died, and the only one who was bummed out was Tom because he had to come down from the building. He loves that stuff."

Off the sofa and into the car... Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise make for a scruffy pair as they pop out in their leisurewear
She's usually a little more considered with her daywear, but Katie Holmes seemed to have rolled off the sofa and straight into the car on her latest public outing.
Both the actress and her husband Tom Cruise were dressed ultra-casually in their comfy leisurewear during a trip to a film studio with daughter Suri.
Katie, 32, and Tom, 48, made for a scruffy pairing as they made their way into the West Hollywood studio.

With her mismatched lilac tracksuit bottoms and peach-coloured hooded top, Katie resembled a scruffy teenager in her outfit which she completed with a pair of grey cardy pull on Uggs and a cream scarf.

Tom Cruise - Suri Cruise's 100K Shoe Collection
Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes' five-year-old daughter Suri reportedly has a designer shoe collection worth over £100,000.
Suri Cruise's shoe collection is worth over £100,000.
The five-year-old daughter of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes has reportedly had several pairs of high-heeled footwear specially-made for her and already has favourite designers.
A source said: "Suri has so many designer shoes.
"She's a massive fan of Marc Jacobs and she's had several shoes custom-made, so if they didn't come with a heel, Katie had them redesigned for Suri. She commissioned a pair of Louboutins for her a while back!"
Suri is said to insist on only wearing high heels and her famous father is happy to indulge her tastes.
The insider added to Britain's Star magazine: "The older she gets, the less she wants to wear anything but little heels.
"Even when she's going to play dates or walking on the beach, she cries if Katie reaches for anything but a little pair of sandals with some sort of heel. She literally cries, 'No, Mama, no!' And then points to whatever pair she feels like wearing - no matter how inappropriate!"
"Tom loves seeing his little girl dressed up so girlie and cute. He encourages her to wear frilly dresses and tiny heels. He says Suri is growing up to be as fashionable as her mum.
"Everything's pink. She's a young girl who knows what she wants."
However, Katie is said to be getting tired of her daughter's requests - particularly as she also insists on selecting outfits for her parents.
The source said: "It's hard keeping up with a growing girl. Suri sometimes picks out the shoes her mum should wear, and then picks out shoes for her dad.
"They genuinely seem to value her opinion and want her to make her own decisions."

Tom Cruise thrills fans during filming of Mission Impossible in Vancouver
Tom Cruise bolted down a flight of stairs and raced across a street, dodging parked cars, in an action sequence filmed outside the Vancouver Convention Centre on Friday night.
Meanwhile, fans gathered on the streets, rugged up in winter jackets in the near-freezing weather, just steps away from the Hollywood star.
And the Top Gun megastar didn’t let them down. Baring his trademark toothy grin, he springboarded up to to the crowd, waving wildly, to call out: “Hello, everyone!”
Minimal security could be seen outside the waterfront area, which has been transformed into a little corner of India — complete with palm trees, market stalls and signage — for filming of the action blockbuster, Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol.
Crew have been running power cables down Howe Street and hanging banners all week in preparation of the night shoot, which was expected to run until 3 a.m. Saturday.
Cruise notoriously tackles his own stunts, and his MI4 character secret agent Ethan Hunt pulled out all the punches by throwing himself over vehicles as he made his way from one side of the road to the other.
Earlier in the day, the star’s A-list wife, Katie Holmes, and their fashionista daughter, Suri, were spotted shopping at Chapters bookstore in downtown Vancouver.
Filming of Mission Impossible 4 began in Hollywood North in December, largely at Burnaby’s Canada Motion Picture Park, where scenes for Twilight, Fantastic Four and X-Men were previously filmed.
Cameras were also rolling under the Burrard Street Bridge earlier this week.
MI4 co-stars include Simon Pegg (Shaun of the Dead), Mikael Nyqvist (The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo) and Josh Holloway (Lost).
Filming of the action sequel began in Prague and Dubai; they’ll be shooting locally until March.
