It is ‘Paramount’ official – JACK RYAN has started production. Although the team have already been out filming, Paramount and Skydance Productions have released a press statement officially announcing the start. Not only that but set photos have leaked to prove it (check them out below).
Adapted from Tom Clancy’s novels, JACK RYAN sees Chris Pine star as Ryan, an ex-Marine working as a financial analyst, who uncovers his boss’s plan to fund a giant terrorist attack that would potentially ruin America’s banking system. Wordy, huh? Pine co-stars alongside Keira Knightley, Kevin Costner, the film’s director Kenneth Branagh and now – apparently – GAME OF THRONES star Nonso Anozie. Paramount and Skydance had this to say (on production):
‘HOLLYWOOD, CA (September 18, 2012) – Paramount Pictures, a division of Viacom, Inc., and Skydance Productions announced today that principal photography has begun on “JACK RYAN,” from Academy Award®-nominated director Kenneth Branagh, starring Chris Pine, Academy Award®-nominated Keira Knightley and Academy Award®-nominated Kevin Costner. The film is shooting in New York, Moscow and London and is slated for release on December 25, 2013.’
JACK RYAN opens in the UK on 26th December 2013 (25th December for the US).
