Variety reports that Chris Pine, star of this summer's "Star Trek," is set to become Paramount's bitch boy. He's close to singing onto to two new projects with the studio, most importantly a new offering in the Jack Ryan saga based on the books from Tom Clancy. Ryan's been the focal point of four action movies so far, where the CIA "analyst" always found himself jumping from explosions, out of cars, onto terrorists, etc. The last effort, the post-9/11 "The Sum of All Fears" with Ben Affleck, made a shade under $200 million worldwide and even ...

... as the arrogant but extremely likeable James T. Kirk. He threw out lines like nothing, pulled off the comedy (both physical and dialogue-driven), and more importantly was able to own the role of an iconic sci-fi action hero with seemingly little effort. Now all that remains to be seen is whether or not that talent will translate to something else. Paramount is reportedly looking to sign Chris Pine as the new Jack Ryan in its new adaptation of the Tom Clancy series. According to Variety ,Pine is in negotiations for the part.

CHRIS PINE IS JACK RYAN, PEOPLE CARE
FilmDrunk.com —
Chris Pine was charismatic and likable in Star Trek, and thanks to some mild acne scars, just not-pretty enough for me to not hate him. Most recently, Variety reports that Pine is in talks to take over as Tom Clancy hero Jack Ryan in a Paramount reboot of the franchise. I just hope he can do as good a job as Rod Hardfellow did in Queer and Pleasant Danger. Pine will have some big shoes to fill, and gaping buttholes.
Alec Baldwin originated the character in 1990’s “The Hunt for Red October,” Harrison Ford played him in 1992’s “Patriot Games” and ...

When news came that Chris Pine is (maybe) the new Jack Ryan, all I could think of was that he’s just not a big enough star. Sure, he was in a hit movie this summer, but Star Trek is not enough to propel anybody into stardom. Should William Shatner have gone on to play Indiana Jones after Star Trek: The Motion Picture? Of course not. Nobody would have seen that. Okay, I would have definitely seen that, but not for positive reasons.
The thing about the Jack Ryan character is he’s kind of boring, so he needs someone like ...
