‘Jack Reacher’ makes low-key entrance [in Pittsburgh] Just like the slick character he plays in the film “Jack Reacher,” Tom Cruise entered through a side door of the SouthSide Works Cinema Wednesday night for a more somber U.S. premiere of the movie filmed in Pittsburgh.
It drew 1,400 people in nine theaters in the multiplex.
“I loved shooting here,” said Cruise, who spoke to guests in each theater. “Everyone was so warm and gracious. I hope you are proud of how your city looks. It is an amazing city.”
It was a premiere that lacked the fanfare of a Hollywood red carpet and the usual lineup of stars. But Cruise and director Christopher McQuarrie returned to welcome theater patrons and introduce the movie.
McQuarrie thanked city leaders, the Pittsburgh Film Office, firefighters and police, as well as residents who allowed photo shoots in their neighborhoods.
He said he has never known people to work harder on a film. Everything he asked for he was given, McQuarrie said, from closing streets, tunnels and bridges to using people‘s homes for scenes.
Mayor Luke Ravenstahl was in attendance.
“I want to thank Tom Cruise for supporting Pittsburgh,” he said. “This means a great deal to us. We are becoming the Hollywood of the East.”
The movie, with an estimated $50 million budget, was shot entirely in Pittsburgh, from October 2011 through January.
The filmmakers wanted to thank Pittsburgh as the host city.
“We thought the best way to do that would be to have the U.S. premiere of ‘Jack Reacher‘ right here in Pittsburgh,” McQuarrie told the Tribune-Review.
“The city has been wonderful. ... Sometimes when you are doing a movie and you find a spot you like, they tell you that you can‘t use that spot. But we were never told no.”
Pittsburgh has a starring role in the film, with stunning scenes, including that impressive view of the city from the Fort Pitt Tunnel.
Pittsburgh Film Office director Dawn Keezer said in a telephone interview that she is thrilled Pittsburgh was chosen for the movie and that this was the first premiere in Pittsburgh during her tenure.
“It is great to have a movie like this one with such a big star like Tom Cruise filmed in Pittsburgh,” she said. “It is amazing that Tom and Chris came back for this. But they both said they appreciated what Pittsburgh did for them.”
