Article Excerpt:

I'll tell you why I like this rumor: If you can reinvent Captain James T. Kirk and not just get away with it but succeed beyond the biggest expectations, I'm pretty sure you can handle Jack Ryan just fine.

That's the situation Chris Pine might be finding himself in. The break-out star from Star Trek is the leading candidate for the Tom Clancy reboot currently in development at Paramount. Variety says that the studio has big plans for Pine, including more Trek movies and D.J. Caruso's upcoming drama The Art of Making Money, which will go into production next year.

The impulse to bring back Jack Ryan is part of an industry-wide fascination with hip espionage movies, and this all goes back to The Bourne Identity. That franchise led to the revamped 007 movies with Daniel Craig, and Paramount is separately developing the Matt Helm novels for a new franchise.
