The new movie, simply titled 'Jack Ryan,' will star Chris Pine as the famed CIA agent and will be a prequel to all of the Tom Clancy novels in which Ryan appears. Recently, this first image from the set appeared online. It shows Pine astride a motorcycle cruising through Manhattan's streets. It doesn't give us a concrete idea of what the movie will look like, but it's a nice appetizer. Take a look at the image below and let us know what you think.
'Jack Ryan' hits theaters December 25th, 2013

Comment by BLAM! on September 3, 2012 at 2:23am @Dmitri Rivera Jack Ryan is pretty much the badass CIA agent who plays some sort of constant hand throughout a good portion of the Tom Clancy Novels. He eventually becomes President of the United States himself and has a son who take after him or something.
I'm not really sure if the novels actually had specific time periods but they were all mostly "what if" scenarios so I guess having a movie about Jack Ryan taking place in today's society could makes sense.
I don't the average movie goer was aware of Jason Bourne before the movies either so I wouldn't brush this one off to easily. Then again I'm rather indifferent to this news. I'm pretty sure die hard Clancy fans are thrilled/sarcastically thrilled.

Comment by darth geekboy on September 2, 2012 at 2:56am so basically........they made up a movie, and called the lead guy jack ryan.
Comment by Santos on September 1, 2012 at 11:57pm The generic sounding title aside, at least the film makers were smart enough this time to create a prequel story separate from the books instead of turning one of the books into a prequel (The Sum of All Fears with Ben Affleck).
Comment by Dmitri Rivera on September 1, 2012 at 10:42pm Im sorry but is Jack Ryan I know who Tom Clancy is the famed author turned video game developer but I dont know who Jack Ryan is someone please fill me in and please for the love of god and all that exists dont critisize or judge me.
Comment by Chris-thulu on September 1, 2012 at 10:38am Oh boy, a reboot and a prequel, both for the price of one.
Comment by Jonathan Norgrove on September 1, 2012 at 8:41am @Microshock: Jack Ryan's been portrayed by Alec Baldwin, Harrison Ford and Ben Affleck... So he has a tad more exposure than John Carter did.
