New Images for Chris Pine in JACK RYAN

Paramount is full of Jacks this year with the release of Tom Cruise's JACK REACHER and the subsequent release by December of the film JACK RYAN which stars Chris Pine as the titular character. Here are new photos that surfaced the web featuring Pine and his mentor played by Kevin Costner.

Jack Ryan was a character created by novelist Tom Clancy. The character appeared in a number of books that Clancy did until it became a household name with the release of "Hunt' starring Alec Baldwin. No synopsis yet for the film but it centers on a younger Ryan before the events of "HUNT FOR RED OCTOBER", "THE SUM OF ALL FEARS" and "AIR FORCE ONE". This is a Ryan that's still being groomed to become the best CIA Agent. 

Incidentally rumor also has it that a spinoff of this project is currently in the works with Costner playing the same mentor role only with Tom Hardy as his student. That's pretty cool for me especially if you think about the possibility of the two crossing over and kicking serious butt. Oh wait that's already happened before. Only that both Pine and Hardy went to war over Reese Witherspoon in This Means War.
