HOLLYWOOD (BS) - Reports have surfaced that the successful book series turned movie franchise Jack Reacher is headed for the small screen.

Sources behind the scenes have told BS that the WB Network is close to reaching a deal for a 12 episode season that would air beginning in March of 2020.

But that may not be the biggest news.

These same sources further note that actor Terry Crews, noted for his current role on Brooklyn 99 will be playing the main character of Reacher.

"I'm thrilled that Terry agreed to do this" proclaimed book author Lee Childs. "He's exactly what I have in mind when I picture Reacher. They couldn't have chose a better actor for the role."..........

That's how ya do it, and how it should have been done from the beginning. Jack Reacher is like me a big black guy in a big white body.

BRAVO~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Crews is 6-3 245 pounds, and like Reacher a former football player, he played in 32 NFL games.

Lee Childs knows them blues. In the very first Reacher novel KILLING FLOOR (a 1930 blues lyric) we find Jack in Georgia in search of just how did legit blues icon Blind Blake die? (a true mystery). Reacher too cool to be white.

I have actually thought....why is he white? So this really is kind of.....it's about time.

A MASSIVE (get it) improvement over ittie bittie Tom "Thumb" Cruise.

The actual record from 1930.

While all blues out of Mississippi gets clumped into DELTA blues, Skip James was from Bentonia, not from the Delta. And, he is unique and held in the highest regard by those like myself.

Blind Blake from Florida but did most his playing in Georgia. He is a legit legend who simply...poof....disappeared.

Classic Piedmont style, recorded as early as 1926.

This is going to be funny.

I was suppose to.....A BLACK JACK REACHER OH NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO~~~~~~~~~~~

Now the boy is stuck...ha~~~

Jack Reacher has black written all over him. Loves music, big and bad, just dumps her afterwards, prefers to roam, unemployed and likes it that way.

The Avante Factor.....ha~~~

Big black Jack Reacher walking along a dirt road somewhere out there looking for a ride, yep...hitching.

Finally a truck pulls up, it's a farmer with some pigs in the back, he...."jump on in, where ya headed"

Reacher....as far as you'll take me.
Farmer....sounds good to me. Ex military?
Reacher...what gave it away?
Farmer....shined shoes a hitch hiking? You spit shined them a few hours ago.
Reacher....Army?
Farmer...yep, I was.....

About this time a Mustang blows by, in hot pursuit a Sheriff with everything blinking and blaring..........

Love the books.

The music in my head" (The Jack Reacher Playlist) (http://blogaddress-generic.blogspot.com/2010/05/music-in-my-head-jack-reacher-playlist.html)


To calm down, I ran music through my head. The chorus to "Smokestack Lightning." The Howling Wolf version puts a wonderful strangled cry at the end of the first line. They say you need to ride the rails for a while to understand the traveling blues. They're wrong. To understand the traveling blues you need to be locked down somewhere. In a cell. Or in the army. Someplace where you're caged. Someplace where smokestack lightning looks like a faraway beacon of impossible freedom. I lay there with my coat as a pillow and listened to the music in my head. At the end of the third chorus, I fell asleep.'

-- Jack Reacher, in Lee Child's Killing Floor (http://www.amazon.com/Killing-Floor-Jack-Reacher-No/dp/0515141429/ref=tmm_mmp_title_0), 1997.

Although you are probably stupid enough to believe it.
I have to be honest...I Googled it...hoping against hope that it was true.
Just the thought of it made me giddy.
