Tom Cruise Split With Katie Holmes Will Not Affect Release Date Of Jack Reacher, Paramount Confirms

Tom Cruise fans won't have to worry about his upcoming movie Jack Reacher being affected by his impending divorce from Katie Holmes. Paramount studios says the movie will be released as planned on December 21.

Paramount released the following statement:

"Tom is a huge movie star for the right reason, he’s a very talented actor whose movies have entertained millions of fans. His ability to make a great movie, as we saw with the most recent installment in the "Mission: Impossible" franchise -- the most successful of the series to date -- is the thing that moviegoers remember above all else."

The flick, according to IMDB, is about a homicide investigator who digs deeper into a case involving a trained military sniper who shot five random victims. Jack Reacher is ased on a book in Lee Child's crime series.

Cruise is reportedly wrapped with the film Oblivion which was filming in Iceland. The megastar is currently on his way back to the U.S. to celebrate his 50th birthday ... which is today.
