Paramount Pictures is negotiating with Chris Pine to play CIA analyst Jack Ryan in the reboot of the franchise based on the Tom Clancy novels.
Pine is positioned to topline his second Par franchise. He played James T. Kirk in "Star Trek," the J.J. Abrams-directed summer hit, and will reprise the role in the sequel.

Pine is separately in talks to team with director D.J. Caruso in the Paramount drama "The Art of Making Money," early next year.

Talks have just started, but Pine is expected to come aboard the Jack Ryan film as the project is still taking shape. The studio and producers Lorenzo di Bonaventura and Mace Neufeld are working with a script draft by Hossein Amini, based on an original concept.

Interesting. Could be a hit but somehow I see this coming off as a Jason Bourne knockoff.

Jack Ryan has already been re-booted twice.

1) Alec Baldwin

2) First re-boot: Harrison Ford

3) Second re-boot: Ben Affleck

They should skew even younger and cast Zac Efron.

Hell, why not Stewart Smalley? He's good enough, he's smart enough, and gosh darn it, people like him.

What Republicans need I can not say without the fear of Homeland Security bashing down my door by tomorrow morning. I will say this, I finally understand what can drive a person to violence without rational thought to calm the spirit. Nevertheless, I'm just saying . . .

I wasn't impressed with Pine in Star Trek. I thought the other characters were more interesting(especially the new Spock). Jack Ryan will always be Harrison and only Harrison Ford.

i liked alec baldwin as jack ryan the best because he kinda disappeared into the role and into the ensemble cast, which is what a non-descript analyst would do in real life.

Posters, I have that movie and will have to check out Baldwin's performance again. He is one of my favorite actors as well. Aflecks version of Jack Ryan was however, very forgetable. No, I'm not an Afleck hater either(guilty pleasures are Paycheck and Daredevil). The Sum of all Fears bored me to death.

As Baldwin once remarked, he disappeared into the role because Sean Connery was in the film. Whenever Connery was on screen, he upstaged everybody else and people forgot all about poor Baldwin.
