The producer of the as yet untitled upcoming Jack Ryan movie Lorenzo di Bonaventura spoke to MTV and said that while there is a script in active development at the studio for an upcoming Jack Ryan film, the project they’re working on has a much younger Jack Ryan than the almost 60-year-old Clooney. Said Lorenzo, “”It’s for a young Jack Ryan. I love George, but it’s not written for a man of his age. It’s written for a guy in his early 30s.”
Didn’t they already try this experiment with Ben Affleck in SUM OF ALL FEARS? Wasn’t what we liked about the earlier Jack Ryan films was that they were established older men like Harrison Ford and Alec Baldwin?
