It was announced earlier today that Star Trek hottie, Chris Pine is about to go boldy where Harrison Ford, Alec Baldwin and Ben Affleck have gone before-- the role of Jack Ryan.
Variety said that Pine has been set to play the CIA Analyst in a reboot of the series based on the popular Tom Clancy novels.
"Tom Clancy created an unforgettable character with Jack Ryan. with Chris in this role, we've taken our first step in creating a re-boot that lives up to the successful lineage of the franchise," Paramount said in a statement Tuesday evening.
The iconic Jack Ryan role has already been played by Alec Baldwin in 1990's The Hunt for Red October; by Harrison Ford in 1992's Patriot Games and 1994's Clear and Present Danger; and by Ben Affleck in 2002's Sum of All Fears....
Chris is currently working with Denzel Washington in Unstoppable, directed by Tony Scott. It's still unclear whether Pine will film the Star Trek sequel before of after filling his role as Jack Ryan.
Whoo hoo... sign me up. I love these spy thrillers!
