From
Variety:
Paramount Pictures has begun negotiations with Chris Pine to play CIA analyst Jack Ryan in the reboot of the franchise based on the Tom Clancy novels.
UPDATE: Paramount confirmed this story late Tuesday, and in a statement, Paramount Film Group president Adam Goodman said: "Tom Clancy created an unforgettable character with Jack Ryan. With Chris in this role, we've taken our first step in creating a re-boot that lives up to the successful lineage of the franchise."I LOVED
The Hunt for Red October (ok I loved Sean Connery's Marko Ramius more than Alec Baldwin's Jack Ryan, but still). And, CP! OMG CP! And it will be directed by
Sam Raimi who directed the Hercules and Xena TV series so I'm quite exicted now! (Although a quick Wiki on Sam Raimi yields that he's also directing the upcoming Warcraft movie....orzzz)
Completely Unrelated But:I HATE THE PEOPLE AT
shatnoy_rpf, because they have epic posts like
this.
I don't want to fall for this ship. I DON'T, DAMMIT! I don't want to go back talking about the 60's and 70's (I wasn't even
alive back then for crying out loud, let along alive in
America), because 60's and 70's conjure up in my mind the civil rights movement and Jimmy Carter, plus Patty Hearst. And I don't want to find the fact they smoked to be sexy as hell.
And I really, really don't want to like William Shatner okay?
I had standards. I just don't know what happened to the said standards.....
AND I AM READING PINTO FICS TOO, NOW. I totally blame
trek_rpf_kink for this.
For 10 years I've managed to stay off RPS! 10 years! Even the soap opera that is X-Japan didn't get me to read anything! And now this!
I'm so screwed.....
