Perhaps I missed it but I didn't even know this was being considered let along in the works, let further alone starring Chris Pine. I've always liked Clancy's stories and I like Pine. We'll see what happens with this one.

Hope they don't try to make it too much a Bourne clone. Ugh. *shudders*

I can actually see Pine doing well, providing the script suits him.

Just hope it's not another remake.

The legendary Kenneth Branagh is directing the latest big screen treatment of Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan in Manhattan;

The original script was written by Adam Cozad and has since been worked on by David Koepp. The movie is a prequel to the previous Jack Ryan films, and follows a 20-something Ryan.

It shows him leaving the Marines to take up a position as a financial consultant for a Russian billionaire, and he's framed in a terrorist plot, then forced to go on the run.
Costner plays William Harper, a legendary CIA field agent who recruits Pine's Jack Ryan and becomes his mentor.

Kiera Knightley will be playing the film's female lead.

From Manhattan the other day;

Just from this description alone, how blatantly obvious is it that a plot twist in the last reel will reveal Costner to be the evil mastermind behind the whole plot?

But, Kevin Costner is The Bodyguard! There is no way he would be behind something so sinister. If anything, he'll take a bullet for good ol' Jack.

That's actually very funny! I would have gone the Elliott Ness route, you know, do gooder boy scout and all. The Bodyguard was clearly the way to go.

If he's secretly a Russian spy, does that make this both a prequel to the Jack Ryan movies and a sequel to

It's pathetic that the scenario you just mentioned is not only plausible, but completely expected. I'm hoping he gets shot or blowed up either way. Preferably with an eyeball flying straight at the screen in order to take full advantage of the successful thr33 dymenshanel format that will Shirley be used since it makes crappy movies great.

No 3D. 2D only - but TONS of lens flares, shaky cams and 360 degree spinning POV camera shots which ALL add to the enjoyment of 2D movies.

Does this thing have the slightest bit to do with anything Tom Clancy wrote? I'm assuming it doesn't, which is why Josh's scenario is all too plausible. Ryan was writing books and working as a CIA analyst before "Red October", not some Bourne-like superspy or something.
