Jack Ryan, the hero of The Hunt For Red October and Patriot Games and Clear and Present Danger and that forgettable Ben Affleck one, is supposed to be an unstoppable CIA agent and a straight-up hero. So how does working on Wall Street fit into that? Apparently a career as a financial analyst was a major part of the character’s backstory in the Tom Clancy novels, and according to Pajiba, that’s going to be coming back into play in the new, Chris Pine-starring franchise reboot.

They’ve gotten a tip that the new script picks up with a younger Jack Ryan just after his stint in the Marines, when he’s working as a Wall Street stock broker transplanted to Moscow to work for a billionaire. In fact, the movie’s working title is Moscow, and the action takes place there when Ryan is set up as the fall guy in a plot to destroy the U.S. economy.

Clearly the new film would have to move away from the 80s/90s Cold War plots of the first films, but it is kind of hilarious to have Ryan on Wall Street, which somehow feels like another kind of 80s throwback. Of course, the notion of economic terrorism is very, very modern, as are our fears of Russia not as a nuclear powerhouse, but as a rising economy. Sounds like they’ve come up with a way to update Jack Ryan for a new decade, while still allowing us to fear those dirty Muscovites.

• Candids in 2010: Leaves Easter Sunday Mass – Apr 4

Chris Pine and his rumored girlfriend, aspiring actress Jasmine Waltz, party together at Guys & Dolls nightclub on Good Friday (April 2) in Beverly Hills, Calif.

Last Easter, Jasmine, 27, was dating media mogul Ryan Seacrest, 35. The two lovebirds frolicked around Paris during a spring break getaway.

Jasmine must not have been heartbroken for very long because a few months later in July, she was getting hot and heavy with singer Jesse McCartney, 22. The couple was spotted kissing in the water on a beach in Malibu! Jasmine was bikini-clad and revealed a lower back tattoo.

Chris, 29, was last romantically linked to 30-year-old aspiring actress Nathalie Walker.

Chris Pine along with his movie, “Star Trek” have received several nominations at the upcoming 2010 MTV Movie Awards which will be held on June 6, 2010. You only have till April 9, 2010 to vote for him. Do your part now by voting now! Congrats Mr Pine!

Despite Simon Pegg’s hope that the follow-up to ‘Star Trek’ will kick off production later this year, the upcoming project is not expected to start production as early as Spring or Summer 2012.

Not only fans who cannot wait to see another “Star Trek” film, but also the cast are eager to act in front of cameras for the untitled Star Trek sequel. However, the stars will have to wait for at least a year to work on the project as the shooting will likely be kicked off in 2011 instead of this year like it was recently reported.

According to TrekMovie, sources said the second “Star Trek” film is not expected to start filming until next year, in around late spring or early summer. While scripting for the movie is still underway, it is possible that pre-production will begin this year. (READ MORE…)
