Chris Pine will star as Jack Ryan in winter or early spring
Notice any big franchise titles missing from the summer box office?
Remember novelist Tom Clancy’s character Jack Ryan?
Producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura reveals that Jack Ryan will return before the cameras in “Moscow” in either late winter or early spring. Chris Pine of “Star Trek” fame is expected to fill the shoes of Ryan who has been played by Alec Baldwin, Harrison Ford and Ben Affleck in the past.
“Moscow” isn’t based on any of the Clancy novels. Plot follows Ryan, just out of the Marines, before he joins the C.I.A., working as a financial advisor to a Russian billionaire.
Ryan gets framed and must clear his name while rescuing his wife. No director has been attached at this time.
The last Jack Ryan title starring Ben Affleck, “The Sum of All Fears,” made $118.9 million at the summer box office in 2002.

Chris Pine as Lieutenant of Inishmore – FIRST PIC!
We have the first picture of Chris Pine in his new play, The Lieutenant of Inishmore.
The show is a blistering, graphic satire on violence set in 1993 on the rocky island of Inishmore. Padraic (Pine), a hard-boiled terrorist, has been away in Northern Ireland with his busy schedule of torture and assorted nationalist mayhem, but he is lured home to Inishmore by the news that his beloved cat, Wee Thomas, is doing poorly. When Padraic finds out Wee Thomas has been murdered, he initiates a cycle of revenge-killing that threatens everyone in his path, except perhaps the love-struck Mairead (Zoe Perry), a 16-year-old terrorist groupie with a BB gun.
The Lieutenant of Inishmore starts previews at the Mark Taper Forum on June 30, opens July 11 and continues through August 8, 2010. Tickets are available at CenterTheatreGroup.org!

am Worthington may go to war with Chris Pine (in something other than your best dream)
If Vulture’s intel is correct, Sam Worthington has a difficult decision to make. So let’s help him with a PopWatch poll. Word is, the Avatar star has been offered a role in the long bandied about Fox film This Means War opposite Star Trek’s Chris Pine and Reese Witherspoon. He and Pine would play “best friends and veteran spies who wage black-ops warfare on each other when they both fall for the same girl.” Worthington has also reportedly been offered a role in Summit’s Man on a Ledge, in which he would star as “an ex-cop threatening to jump to his death from a Manhattan hotel rooftop; unbeknownst to the police psychologists brought in to talk him down, the ‘suicide attempt’ is a cover for the biggest diamond heist ever attempted.” If he accepts the latter, Fox might have to move on to another actor (i.e. Colin Farrell).
Assuming he does have to choose between them, which movie would you tell Worthington to sign on for? His name has been attached to a series of heavy films — The Fields, The Candidate, The Last Days of American Crime, Dracula: Year Zero — so even though the plot of Man on a Ledge sounds more interesting, I’d vote This Means War. He needs to show, in something other than talk show interviews, that he can loosen up and have fun. I think his rough exterior would be a good contrast to Pine’s smooth one. And that movie poster would be really, really hot.
