Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit Trailer

I'm all excited about the next Jack Ryan movie. Though I'm not a fan of thick books (but I almost... ALMOST finished the novel where Jack Ryan became the President of the United States!), I'm a big fan of the late Tom Clancy's character.

A big part of my excitement is because I've always got Harrison Ford in mind whenever this character came up. And then now, there's young Captain Kirk playing the CIA analyst in what appears to be a reboot. Icing to the cake, there's Keira Knightley. Well, we'll also get errr... Kevin Costner. Check out the trailer below:


Original synopsis from Paramount Pictures:
Based on the character created by bestselling author Tom Clancy, "Jack Ryan" is a global action thriller set in the present day. This original story follow a young Jack (Chris Pine) as he uncovers a financial terrorist plot. The story follows him from 9/11, through his tour of duty in Afghanistan, which scarred him forever, and into his early days in the Financial Intelligence Unit of the modern CIA where he becomes an analyst, under the guardianship of his handler, Harper (Kevin Costner). When Ryan believes he's uncovered a Russian plot to collapse the United States economy, he goes from being an analyst to becoming a spy and must fight to save his own life and those of countless others, while also trying to protect the thing that's more important to him than anything, his relationship with his fiancée Cathy (Keira Knightley).
Even the promotional poster looks cool! What a poser! Wooooooohooooooooo!

UPDATE: Latest international trailer here.
