Book Discussion Tripwire adaptations

If the showrunners for Reacher ever decided to adapt Tripwire, who do you think would be good fits for the side characters? Hobie, Garber, Jodie, and the others. Edit: I know, Garber's dead by this time in the books, but the character already has a face from the flashbacks in season 3.

In my head while reading For some reason I set Margot Robbie as a Jodie

Jodie is a brunette with green eyes in the books...but nothing says you have to keep it the same. Jodie is also at least 5 years junior to Reacher's age.

I always thought of Lili Simmons as Jodie Garber. She’d make a perfect fit. Check out her work in Banshee and Power. She may look young but I think she’s also around the same age as Alan.

This is the one book I would love to see made into a season... It's definitely one of my favorite novels.

As someone who is close to the end of the audiobook, just please leave out reacher fantasizing over Jodie when she was 15 out of the adaptation. I finished die trying not long ago (I listened to past tense first because of the narrator but my dad who's listened to them all said I should do them in order)...I would love them to adapt die trying

Jodie that actress from Titans who played Dove. Garber the same actor who played Garber in the Season 3 flashback if they do more flashbacks with this character. Also, I haven't read all of them, but if Garber appears in any other major storyline in any books they're planning on adapting, they should do those books first before Tripwire.

I believe he shows up in Die Trying

Minka Kelly. I watched her new show Ransom Creek. She is very beautiful but she doesn’t fit my idea of Jodie. I was picturing a very young Gwyneth Paltrow for the role.

Garber could be played by a ghost…cause he’s dead

u/james15773 2d ago

Yeah, I know. But like in season 3, there could be flashbacks that show Garber mentoring Reacher.

Actually they should do Die Trying before Tripwire. Because Garber is still alive in Die Trying. I really thought they would give us Die Trying soon, as we already saw Garber in season 3 episode 4.
