    Jack Ryan reboot working title 'Moscow'?

    Very liitle has been said in regards to the "Jack Ryan" reboot. At least ever since Paramount locked in Chris Pine (Captain Kirk) to take over the franchise from Alec Baldwin, Harrison Ford and Ben Affleck.

    Pajiba have some updates on Tom Clancy's CIA hero and his next cinematic undertaking. Surprisingly, the working title for the reboot (the second for the series after Ben Affleck's popular-at-the-time 'Sum of All Fears' from 2002) is Moscow. Certainly not what I was expecting, but I'm sure, or atleast I hope it will change by the time its released.

    IESB adds, The script (which apparently shares plot elements from a sold, but unmade spec script titled Dubai – both written by Adam Cozen) involves a pre-CIA assigned Jack employed in Moscow (hence the title?) as a financial advisor for a billionaire. Only things get intense when he uncovers a terrorist plot specifically designed to sink the U.S. economy by his employer. And to make things personal (because it has to be in order to drive our hero), Ryan's wife is taken hostage by the billionaire bastard!

    Apparently, there's still no director on-board. Even if there were, Paramount has bigger fish to fry with Pine for the time being. They've got their insanely anticipated Star Trek sequel set for release June 2012. The Abrams follow-up will, no doubt, be one of the killer money-makers two years from now. So they can still take their time finding the suitable helmer for Jack Ryan.

    I also hafto say I'd agree with Iesb in that we probably won't be seeing this before 2013.
