Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan looks to be played by Chris Pine

14 October 2009 5:00 AM, PDT | ReelLoop.com | See recent Reel Loop news »

Star Trek’s Captain Kirk isn’t the only character that will get a youthful makeover. Author Tom Clancy’s CIA hero Jack Ryan looks to be headed towards a reboot with Chris Pine in talks to play him.

Though the upcoming Jack Ryan project is still in its infancy, the trades are reporting that the film will be based on an original concept rather than on an existing work from Clancy. Hossein Amini (The Four Feathers, Jude) is currently writing a draft of the script for Paramount. Lorenzo di Bonaventura and Mace Neufeld are producing.

Jack Ryan was originally played by Alec Baldwin in the 1990 Oscar-winner The Hunt for Red October. Harrison Ford played Ryan in the ’90s features Patriot Games and Clear and Present Danger.

In 2002, The Sum of All Fears starred Ben Affleck as the analyst in a reboot attempt that virtually ignored all pre-existing films. It didn’t go over well. …

The Claustrophobic Cinema of Paul (W.S.) Anderson

24 September 2009 12:13 PM, PDT | ifc.com | See recent IFC news »

The old Hollywood studio-hand W.S. Van Dyke -- who directed, amongst countless other things, "The Thin Man" -- once advised a young Orson Welles to "just keep it close, and keep it moving." And an unlikely inheritor of this wisdom is Paul W.S. Anderson, whose latest work to hit screens is this week's "Pandorum," which he executive produced, leaving the directing to German up-and-comer Christian Alvart. Rivaled only by Uwe Boll for the title of worst-reviewed director of the past decade, Anderson's also been one of the most resourceful. Working with the flimsiest material (video game adaptations and remakes) in the least respectable of genres (sci-fi, horror), he's managed to construct a remarkably coherent body of work. With his longtime producer Jeremy Bolt and a loose coterie of actors, he's created a series of films that focus on the expressiveness of claustrophobic spaces and the physical grace of his (mainly) female protagonists. …

More Jack Ryan News: Untitled Reboot Script Due Soon

8 July 2009 10:30 AM, PDT | Slash Film | See recent Slash Film news »

Just the other day there was a mention that George Clooney might be interested in taking up the mantle of Jack Ryan, the hero of Tom Clancy novels and films like The Hunt For Red October and Patriot Games. Now there's confirmation, via Anne Thompson, that Clooney's name is indeed in the mix. But more important, the Hossein Aimini script that was commissioned last year to reboot the franchise, currently just the Untitled Tom Clancy Project, should arrive shortly, and then Paramount will be able to make a decision about really moving forward. In December of last year, word came down that Killshot and Jude screenwriter Hossein Amini had been tasked by Paramount with scripting the revival of Jack Ryan's onscreen persona. As I mentioned the other day, this would be a full reboot, and the idea is to use an original plot rather than an adaptation of one of …
