Ryan Gosling will take on the title character in the Jack Ryan series by Tom Clancy, reports Moviehole.
The new film won’t be based on one of Clancy’s books, but will still feature a young Jack Ryan (like Ben Affleck in The Sum of All Fears).
Both Harrison Ford and Australian filmmaker Philip Noyce, who brought us Patriot Games and Clear and Present Danger), will not be returning to the Jack Ryan series. Alec Baldwin originated the character in 1990’s The Hunt for Red October.
Paramount apparently has the rights to make a film based on Jack Ryan and doesn’t need Clancy’s permission to move forward with this film project.

A slender twister spins under storm-streaked skies in the U.S. In addition to typical land twisters, tornadoes may form over desert (dust devils), forest fires or volcanoes (firewhirls), or oceans (waterspouts).


Heavy clouds hang low over a homestead in the Midwest, foretelling a possible tornado. Tornadoes form when the updrafts of air that supply storms with warm, humid air become a vortex, or high-speed whirlwind.

An impending tornado darkens skies over the Colorado plains. Most tornadoes are 400 to 500 feet (122 to 152 meters) wide, travel four or five miles (six to eight kilometers) and last just a few minutes.

A tightly wound tornado funnel twists through open prairie in Manitoba, Canada. Tornadoes are pillars of rapidly rotating air that develop in tall, dense cumuliform clouds that are associated with thunderstorms and bad weather.

Masses of dark clouds and a crack of lightning over a prairie in the Midwest set the stage for tornadoes. Tornadoes frequently occur in conjunction with spring and summer thunderstorms, but they can spin off abruptly, at any time of year, in any condition.

A rare, mother ship cloud formation hovers over Childress, Texas. Tornado-chasers there covered seven hours and 150 miles (241 kilometers) tracking the supercell thunderstorm that produced this cloud formation. Supercell thunderstorms are known to spawn tornadoes with winds exceeding 200 mph (322 kph).
