Mike Fleming on Variety is reporting that Paramount is in negotiations with Chris Pine to assume the role of Jack Ryan in a new film based on the Tom Clancy character.
Paramount has long wanted to restart the series, which to date has had three actors playing the character in four movies: Alec Baldwin in The Hunt for Red October (1990), Harrison Ford in Patriot Games (1992) and Clear and Present Danger (1994), and most recently Ben Affleck in The Sum of All Fears (2002). Last summer it was widely reported that George Clooney was interested in the role.
The new film is likely to be based on an original screenplay by Hossein Amini and not specifically adapted from any of the Clancy thrillers.
