The first trailer for Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit, Kenneth Branagh’s reboot of the Jack Ryan series with Chris Pine, was just released.
Sadly, legendary author Tom Clancy passed away late Tuesday. Our condolences go out to his family and friends.
Luckily, as with any artist, we’ll still be able to be affected by him and his legacy well after his passing. It’s ironic that the first trailer for Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit, a film based on the author’s most popular character, was ready for release the same week he left us, but it’s fitting in a way.
The trailer from Paramount Pictures just premiered on Yahoo. It has all the action we’ve come to expect from a Jack Ryan movie.
The Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit cast is impressive. Chris Pine stars as the latest actor to play the titular character. Keira Knightley stars as his love interest, Kevin Costner stars as a CIA officer, and director Kenneth Branagh pulls double duty as the big bad of the film.

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).
