John Krasinski, who portrayed the titular CIA analyst inTom Clancy’s Jack Ryan, has teased the forthcoming feature film and explained how it differs from the hit TV series, which aired on Prime Video from 2018 to 2023, and ran for four seasons. The movie was confirmed to be in production in February, with Krasinski reprising his lead role, but aside fromone image to mark the beginning of filming, the project is quite elusive. Thankfully, the franchise’s main star has now provided some insight into what fans can expect from the spin-off.
Krasinski is the latest actor to bring Jack Ryan to the big screen, followingprevious interpretationsby Alec Baldwin (The Hunt for Red October), Harrison Ford (Clear and Present Danger), Ben Affleck (The Sum of All Fears), and Chris Pine (Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit), but he admits that it’s “a whole different ballgame” to shooting the series. The actor hinted in a recent interview with Collider that theJack Ryanmovie will be more action-packed than the original show because the structure is not the same as long-form storytelling.
The Jack Ryan Movie Should Finally Adapt This Action-Packed Tom Clancy Novel
The new Jack Ryan movie needs to adapt Tom Clancy’s third Ryanverse novel, The Cardinal of the Kremlin.
“We were so excited to do a movie. As much as the long-form storytelling was a whole different ballgame to play in, it’s really fun to reduce it down and condense the timeline and therefore the tension. So, we’re getting to do all the big fun action movie stuff that we didn’t get to do in a television show.”
Who Is Joining Jack Ryan on His Next Mission?
TheJack Ryanmoviereunites Krasinski with returning co-starsWendell Pierce, who reprises his role as CIA operative James Greer, and Mike Kelly, who is back in action as Agent Mike November. The next mission has also enlisted Sienna Miller (Layer Cake), Max Beesley (The Gentlemen), JJ Feild (The Romanoffs), Douglas Hodge (Joker), and Betty Gabriel (Get Out). Gabriel appeared in the third and fourth seasons of the series, playing CIA station chief-turned-director Elizabeth Wright. Details of the other roles are undisclosed at this time.
Amazon MGM Studios has developed the newJack Ryanmovie, which is the first in over ten years, in collaboration with Paramount Pictures and Skydance Media. The film is directed by Andrew Bernstein, an executive producer on the Prime Video series, who also helmed three episodes of the second season. The script is a joint venture by Krasinski and Aaron Rabin, who served as a co-executive producer of the show and is credited as the scribe behind five of the six episodes in the fourth season, which served as the series' final ever installment.
Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryanwas not renewed for a fifth season despite being extremely popular for Prime Video during its four-season run, ranking among the streamer’s three most-watched shows globally. It also garnered rave reviews from the outset and managed to maintain its acclaim, with the critics' scores on Rotten Tomatoes reading as 75% for Season 1, 70% for Season 2, 82% for Season 3, and 88% for Season 4. Amazon MGM is undoubtedly hoping that the show’s high praise andviewership numbers will translate into box office success.
