Ugh. Just seems like this one is a prime candidate for the "fans of the books who get a little too pissy when the movie isn't identical to the movie bitch loudly, everywhere they can, and every chance they get", because Tom Cruise is pretty much the opposite of the guy you picture in the books.

I mean... there's pretty much nobody with chops and charisma that I can think of for the role. Maybe Ahhhnold way, way back in the day, could've at least given us the physical sense of who this guy is.

Personally I'm interested in how they translate him to Crooze.
