In reply to Beth Soles. Bet you mean the Jack Reacher novels!! No way does Tom Cruise even come close to portraying a credible Jack Reacher!!

Also a very strong fan of the book series. Have read them all, in sequence. We readers all form images in our minds of how these fictional characters would look in life. Almost all the time when a TV or movie tries to depict literary figures, there is a letdown to the reader. The only exception I can think of is the iconic TV movie series, “Lonesome Dove.” Personally, I would like to keep the images I have of the characters as they are in my mind. In passing, THANKS to Mr. Box for creating this wonderful series!

In reply to Althea Jewett. Althea, I must admit that Box's Pickett series is one of my all time favorites. I absolutely adore his wring and characters... I can't wait for the next one!

I LOVE these books and have bought every one and am now waiting for the last book which I have preordered. No TV series. I just love curling up and reading them.

I pick Timothy Olyphant for Joe Pickett, Liam Neesom as Nate Romanowski, and Charleze Theron as Marybeth,
(and Walton Coggins as Joe’s FBI friend Chuck Coon).

I so agree! I’m so hooked on the entire group of characters and integrity of all of them…. to change or alter any of it WOULD change the quality of the writing. Janet

[…] fans, it should be refreshing that an author is being so protective of his work. Last year, C.J. Box announced that he pulled the rights back to his Joe Pickett series because the producers weren’t […]

So glad to know that you will stick to your guns on this. Please stay true to your word. Considering how others panned out. Some of them so disappointing compared to the. Especially character transfered to the movie screen. Not good. Especially through the Lee Child series. Just saying. My companion and I love reading your Joe Pickett novels.

I am so happy that you are staying true to the work you have written. I love the books and to change anything would be so wrong. Funny, I pictured Kyle Chandler from Friday Night Lights as a possibility for Joe.

Agreed! Good for CJ Box for sticking to his guns. (No pun intended, but if he’s like Joe, hopefully a shotgun, not a handgun.) Unlike a certain other author who let Hollywood ruin the character he’d so carefully crafted for what I can only assume was for $$$, the right producer will come along for Box. Joe Pickett is too good a character for some Hollywood schmuck to you-know-what up.
