- The studio originally considered adapting "61 Hours", the 14th novel in the 'Jack Reacher' book series as the second film, but according to Lee Child, the main challenge was the practical complexity to set a thousand miles of snow in South Dakota to accommodate the winter setting. After seeing a copy of the novel "Never Go Back" (2013) during the book's release, they decided to settle on this book because, "the character of Samantha (Danika Yarosh) forms a three-hander in audience appeal i.e Jack, Susan and Sam who are interested with the pair". Child also added that if there would be a third film, the studio (around 2011) had already decided to use "Bad Luck and Trouble" (2007; Book 11) as "they feel they would be ready for an ensemble piece".
