The Hunt for Red October, A Clear and Present Danger,�Patriot Games and The Sum of All Fears, now another Jack Ryan film is coming and it just got a scribe.�

Screenwriter Hossein Amini has been hired to tackle a new Jack Ryan movie for Paramount Pictures. The erstwhile intelligence analyst and all-American do-gooder created by novelist Tom Clancy has not appeared onscreen since 2002′s “The Sum of All Fears.”

Mace Neufeld and Lorenzo Di Bonaventura are producing the project for Paramount. “Spider-Man” director Sam Raimi was on the hook to direct and produce a new Ryan installment, but his packed schedule made his involvement unworkable.

Amini is best known for his literary adaptations of Henry James, Thomas Hardy and Elmore Leonard. His new Ryan film is planned as an origin story, not derived from Clancy’s novels and ultimately featuring a new, younger star.

Sounds like it could be interesting but strange since it’s not actually based on a Tom Clancy book. Hopefully the writer can come up with a really�intriguing�concept.�
