New Details On The Next Jack Ryan Film Starring Chris Pine

New Details On The Next Jack Ryan Film Starring Chris Pine

We haven’t heard a lot about the next Jack Ryan film in the last few months, not since Chris Pine officially signed on to take over the role held by Ben Affleck, Harrison Ford, and Alec Baldwin before him. The last we heard about the project was that a largely unknown screenwriter, Adam Cozad, had stepped in to do a rewrite of Hossein Amini’s original draft. In December, producer Mace Neufield revealed only that it was not an origins story, it would not be based on a Tom Clancy novel, and that, in reference to the movie’s starting point, “We pick him up while he’s on Wall Street.”

The movie will pick up with the Jack Ryan not long after his stint in the Marines, before he’s joined the CIA, while he’s a Wall Street stock broker, an occupation that will play heavily into the script. In the Clancy novels, Jack Ryan was a successful financial analyst in Baltimore for Merrill Lynch. In the new movie, he will have transplanted to Moscow to continue his financial advising, not for Merill Lynch (which has been absorbed by Bank of America), but for a billionaire employer. It is that billionaire employer who eventually sets Jack Ryan up to take the fall for terrorist plot designed to collapse the U.S. economy.

After that, Ryan must race against time to clear his name, reveal the terrorist plot, and save his wife, who has been taken hostage by the billionaire employer.

There’s a lot of interesting stuff going on here, but what’s most interesting is how closely the Jack Ryan script resembles Dubai, which was Adam Cozen’s first script deal — he sold it to Lorenzo Di Bonaventura back in 2007 (Di Bonaventura is a producer on the Jack Ryan film). Eric Bana had at one been attached to produce Dubai (and perhaps star), but it looks that now many of the elements from that script have been co-opted for the Jack Ryan flick (and Bana has since left the Dubai project). For instance, Dubai is about an American economist who moves to Dubai an uncovers a terrorist plot to cover a huge drop in the value of the U.S. dollar, leading to mass starvation. The Dubai script is also essentially a chase movie, which is what the Jack Ryan movie sounds like, as well.

Moreover, the title that Paramount is currently working on has some similarities to Dubai, too — a one word, city title. The new Jack Ryan movie is tentatively called Moscow, a shorter, sleeker title than the previous four versions. And we also now know that the young Chris Pine version of Jack Ryan will have a wife, opening up all sorts of possibilities for casting (Ryan’s wife had been previously played by Anne Archer and Bridget Moynihan).

Sex Tape Review: Overly Sexual, Rude, Vulgar, and Absolutely Hilarious

The raunchy Sex Tape will divide audiences and critics, but who cares? Sex Tape suggests a growing practice among loving partners: that of making a raunchy testament of their escapades for posterity. But what happens when that evidence gets seen by friends, neighbors, and even the mailman? This is the plot that pits Jay (Jason Segel) and Annie (Cameron Diaz) in an effort to secure every iPad gift Jay has given, his record company playlists being the envy of the recipients, but which has also inadvertently spread the video to every device. The reason for the act - termed in the movie as pulling "the full Lincoln " for its three-hour length - stems from the couple's non-existent social life, brought on by the constant demands of their children. The couple has a lot to lose: a burgeoning business relationship between Annie and Hank (Rob Lowe) could end if the iPad she's given to Hank exposes the video, and so the couple sets out to reclaim and wipe the incrim
