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.

Release the Kraken!
The mythical monster may now have a new victim, as Rosamund Pike is in talks to take over the role of Andromeda in the "Clash of the Titans" sequel, according to Heat Vision.
Pike would be filling in for Alexa Davalos, who played the role of the princess who almost ended up as a human sacrifice for a giant multi-armed lizard-thing in the 2010 film (which was itself a remake of the 1981 original).
Sure, that lizard-thing was ultimately turned to stone via the gaze of Medusa. But if Andromeda can be recast, can't the Kraken also be resurrected? Just saying. Get More »
