Summary

John Patrick "Jack" Ryan, Sr. is a fictional character created by Tom Clancy who appears in many of his novels. Four movies have been produced based on Clancy novels featuring Jack Ryan, starring three different actors as Ryan. In the novels, Patriot Games occurs before The Hunt for Red October, though the order was reversed in the film versions. The Sum of All Fears is not part of the Baldwin/Ford series, but rather an intended reboot of the franchise, and therefore departs significantly from the chronology of the novels. It takes place in 2002 whereas the novel takes place in 1991/1992. On March 18, 2008, Variety reported that Sam Raimi and Paramount Pictures were in negotiations to have Raimi direct the (second) franchise reboot, with intentions of having him spearheading multiple sequels. At the time, Tom Clancy was writing a new novel. Paramount had not decided to use this new story, or create an original story for the Jack Ryan reboot. It was reported in October 2009, by the Hollywood.com official website and cinemablend.com, that Chris Pine was in talks to play Jack Ryan in a new reboot of the franchise.
