MOVIEWEB VIDEO OF THE DAY
This version of Jack Ryan will be a reboot that gives the character a modern sensability. The show follows Krasinski’s Jack Ryan as an up-and-coming CIA analyst who uncovers a new pattern in terrorist communications. According to Deadline, Ryan will be launched into the center of a dangerous cat and mouse game, pitted against a new breed of terrorist that threatens mass destruction on a global scale.
Paramount TV and Skydance TV will co-produce alongside executive producers Cuse, Roland, along with Platinum Dunes’ Michael Bay, Brad Fuller, and Andrew Form. Also coming along for this thrill ride are Skydance’s David Ellison, Dana Goldberg and Marcy Ross. Producer of the movie franchise Mace Neufeld is also aboard, along with Lindsey Springer of Carlton Cuse Prods.
This new Jack Ryan TV show once again reunites John Krasinski with Michael Bay. The actor starred in Bay’s directorial effort 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi, which opened this past January. The show is set to shoot across the world, with stops in the US, Europe and Africa planned thus far. Krasinski is the fifth actor to take on the role of Jack Ryan over the past two decades. The franchise kicked off in 1990 with The Hunt for Red October, which starred Alec Bladwin in the lead. Also tackling the character have been Harrison Ford, Ben Affleck, and the aforementioned Chris Pine.
