\"Jack<\/a><\/p>\n

It may have not won over too many critics (62% on Rotten Tomatoes<\/a>) or lit the domestic box office on fire ($80 million as per Box Office Mojo<\/a>), but the 2012 Tom Cruise action pic Jack Reacher<\/strong> managed to set the over seas box office on fire. But with a total foreign and domestic total pull of just north of $218 million, it is understandable that Paramount would want to get a sequel going. And that sequel just started production yesterday under the title of Jack Reacher: Never Go Back<\/strong> ahead of an October 21, 2016 release date.<\/p>\n
