Movie Make-out

Last December, I wrote that whomever Paramount Pictures got to play the role of Jack Ryan in the new reboot of that movie franchise, he would need to be able to embody all the qualities of the biggest, most likable Mary Sue that ever graced the silver screen.

With the news from Variety’s Michael Fleming that Chris Pine (J.J. Abrams’ Star Trek) is “in talks” to assume the role, I think that they’ve hit the jackpot.

That is, assuming that Pine’s able to work this into and around the other Paramount productions he’s signed on for: the second Star Trek movie, and a film called The Art of Making Money that is to be directed by D.J. Caruso (Eagle Eye).

There is still no word on what the plot by Hossein Amini (Shanghai, Drive)is going to look like.
