JACK RYAN LIVES AGAIN Posted: 102516
After being played by Harrison Ford, Ben Affleck and Chris Pine Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan will return but this time for a TV series. Lost’s Carlton Cuse is developing the series for Amazon. The role of Ryan will now be played by 13 Hours’ John Krasinski. The original idea was for the show to be another adaptation of Clear and Present Danger, the fourth novel in the Jack Ryan series. It had been adapted in 1994 but as work progressed what they were coming up with felt dated. So this take will have Krasinski play the up-and-coming CIA analyst who uncovers a pattern in terrorist communication that launches him into the center of a dangerous gambit with a new breed of terrorism that threatens destruction on a global scale. The ten episode season will not adapt a Clancy novel but have Ryan deal with ISIS. Future seasons will deal with real world issues and stories.
