The American series of thriller films, based on the fictional character of the popular CIA hero, who was originally featured in a series of books by Tom Clancy - Jack Ryan, has landed the online retailer of books, movies, music and games - Amazon.
The streaming service Amazon, has given a series order to the drama from Carlton Cuse (best known as an executive producer and screenwriter for the television series - Lost) and Graham Roland (American television writer and producer), as well as Michael Bay's Platinum Dunes, Skydance Media, and Paramount TV.
The intention is for everyone is to go straight-to-series on the project, which would be done based on the completed scripts.
The character of Jack Ryan began as an ex-Marine who is drafted into the CIA while working as an investment banker. Through the course of the books, Jack Ryan moves into politics and becomes the president of the United States in the most recently released book entitled, "Commander-in-Chief," published this year.
The character Jack Ryan, has been featured in five feature films of Paramount, with four different actors tackling the role - Alec Baldwin (the oldest of the well-known actors Baldwin brothers), the American actor and film producer - Harrison Ford, the actor of the 2016 film - Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice Ben Affleck and most recently, the "Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit" Chris Pine.
Just last week, the Jack Ryan series was shopped to a handful of outlets, like Fox, NBC, Netflix and A&E. Where the series has been featured in 11 Clancy novels, it started in Tom Clancy's 1984 debut novel - "The Hunt for Red October."
On the other hand, Carlton Cuse at present, is juggling three series, the American horror drama television series of FX - "The Strain," A&E's drama-thriller "Bates Motel" and USA's upcoming "Colony."
