Hossein Amini to Pen New Jack Ryan Thriller

In a story from The Hollywood Reporter, Paramount Pictures has tapped Hossein Amini to write the screenplay for a new Jack Ryan movie.

This character, created by writer Tom Clancy, was last seen on screen in 2002's The Sum Of All Fears.

Producing this project will be Mace Neufeld and Lorenzo Di Bonaventura. Initially Sam Raimi was going to handle directing duties but he had to pull out due to other commitments.

This new franchise bolsters Paramount's current lineup which features such properties as Iron Man and Transformers.

    No, Clear and Present Danger is, but to each his own.

    Screw all that, bring back Alec Baldwin. Hunt for red October was, and still is, the best.

    Ford would be good and he is believable in the role.

    It is rumored that a certain Mr. Ford has recently expressed interest in revisiting the role.

    Not Ben please. I hope that we get to see Liev again. He was good as John Clark in Sum of All Fears. Still missing Harrison...

    I know its not a "Jack Ryan" novel but they should make "Without Remorse" into a movie!!! The origin of John Clark!! A Navy SEAL who happens to be a serial killer of sorts recruited by Admiral Greer into CIA. Come on!! Don't need Ben Affleck for that!!

    I just hope it's not Ben. He maybe an all right actor but his performance in Sum of all Fears was way off.
