JACK RYAN Set For 2013 Release; Tom Hardy In Talks To Star In WITHOUT REMORSE Spin-Off
Kenneth Branagh's Jack Ryan is now on course for a late 2013 release as Keira Knightley signs up as love interest Anne Archer. Meanwhile, Paramount are now making plans for a spin-off which will link the two franchises and star both Kevin Costner and possibly Tom Hardy.
Deadline reports that Jack Ryan is set to be released in the 4th quarter of 2013 as Paramount start making plans for the film to be the first in a trilogy. Chris Pine (Star Trek) has already been cast as the title character (who in the past has been played by Alec Baldwin, Harrison Ford and Ben Affleck). Keira Knightley (Pirates of the Caribbean ) has now been confirmed as Anne Archer; an important casting choice for the studio as they potentially have plans to use the love interest in all three films. Based on the Tom Clancy novels, Jack Ryan will be directed by Kenneth Branagh (THOR), while he will also play the Russian villain who plots to destroy the US economy. It was recently revealed that Kevin Costner (Man of Steel) will have a key role in this film and a spin-off Without Remorse which would star him and potentially Tom Hardy (The Dark Knight Rises) as well.
