![]() ![]() "Everybody's aware that Reacher is a property that's existed for some time. Streaming is the perfect medium for this type of journey. We get to tell the story of a single book, "Killing Floor," over the course of eight episodes. ![]() "How many other books do we cherry-pick moments from to help the audience who have never read the books understand what's going on? I think Nick did that in such a judicious and respectful way that fans of the books will appreciate what was done and how it was handled. I feel like I almost learned more about Reacher's past in the last four or five books than in some of the earlier ones. ![]() A lot of his backstory is revealed in the later books. That's a difficult thing to do, because we have 24 books to understand who Reacher and the world he lives in. Nick Santora, the showrunner and writer, has done an incredible job adapting the book to the streamer. One thing that I think people are going to appreciate here is how much effort was put into actually reproducing the book.Īlan Ritchson: "I'm glad you feel that way. : There are a lot of different ways to turn a book into a movie or a TV show. I'm as much of a Reacher fan as anybody." A big part of my job is blocking out the pressure and noise and trying to find a flow with this amazing team. My career has prepped me to handle characters born from renowned IP (intellectual property) that come with a lot of expectation. Did you realize just how intense they are when you took the role?Īlan Ritchson: "I'm going from the dumbest superhero, the guy who talks to tuna, and I'm moving on to something that has crossed just about every international border. Jack Reacher is a character whose fans really take their protectiveness to another level. : I know you've played superheroes before, and that's a passionate fan base. We had a chance to speak with Ritchson about making "Reacher." He's an obvious fan of the books and firmly believes that the team who made the show understand the character and delivered a winner. Oscar Finlay, Willa Fitzgerald ("Scream: The TV Series") as Officer Roscoe Conklin, Chris Webster ("TURN: Washington's Spies") as KJ Kliner and Bruce McGill ("Animal House") as Grover Teale. He's joined on the show by Malcolm Goodwin ("iZombie") as Margrave Det. Is this guy tall enough for you? Malcolm Goodwin and Alan Ritchson star in new television series "Reacher." (Prime Video) ![]()
