Rosamund Pike is more than just a pretty face, though she certainly has that going for her, too. The British beauty has cooked up an impressive resume peppered with everything from action adventures like "Die Another Day" to period dramas like "Pride and Prejudice."
"Jack Reacher," however, launches Pike into new places — like Tom Cruise's bedroom. Well, sorta. In this action thriller, Pike plays Helen, a well-heeled attorney who likes to cross her "T"s and dot her "I"s, while Mr. Cruise takes on the titular role as an ex-military vigilante who takes the law into his own hands … and only owns one shirt, which seems to get wet a lot.

David Oyelowo is taking aim.
The "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" star seems to have survived the little incident that occurred on the Golden Gate Bridge earlier this summer as he's signed on to join Tom Crusie in the new thriller, "One Shot," according to Variety.

Though Cruise doesn't exactly match the book's description of Reacher as a 6-foot-5, 250-pound hulk of a man, Child said that he's excited about Cruise playing the role because "Reacher's size in the books is a metaphor for an unstoppable force, which Cruise portrays in his own way."
In other words, size doesn't matter. Get More »

'Top Gun 2' Writer Says Tom Cruise Still Has Need For Speed

Despite rumors to the contrary, Tom Cruise may not have lost that lovin' feeling for a sequel to "Top Gun."
When it was recently announced that explosion-prone producer Jerry Bruckheimer was in development on the long awaited "Top Gun 2," many people assumed Cruise's goose was cooked as he had a long-standing lack of interest, and if he did appear it would merely be a flyby cameo or supporting role as Pete "Maverick" Mitchell.
However, screenwriter Christopher McQuarrie just told Vulture, "There is no 'Top Gun 2' in which Maverick is not the starring role." Get More »
