Chris Pine is the latest to play the popular Tom Clancy character in a mission that has him trying to stop an act of economic terrorism. Kenneth Branagh directs and co-stars as the villain, joined by Keira Knightley, Kevin Costner, Colm Feore, and David Paymer.
It's unclear whether this move raises the film's prospects, though. While there is definitely less competition to deal with, audiences tend to avoid the movies altogether in the early part of the year. They turn out mainly for lower-budgeted genre films, but the numbers those movies haul in wouldn't be enough for 'Jack Ryan' to make Paramount happy.
