In an exciting development for fans of Tom Clancy's legendary character, John Krasinski is set to reprise his role as Jack Ryan in an upcoming Amazon feature film. This cinematic endeavor will shift the popular series into a long-form narrative, adding new dimensions to the character's thrilling adventures, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Krasinski, who has received widespread praise for his portrayal of the resourceful CIA analyst over four successful seasons on Amazon Prime Video, will once again take on the role alongside some familiar faces. Wendell Pierce, best known for his work on The Wire, is also slated to return, with Michael Kelly, recognized from House of Cards, in talks to join the project, as reported by The Hollywood Reporter.
The film will be directed by Andrew Bernstein, who served as an executive producer and director during the series' second season. Bernstein's skill in creating compelling stories makes him a perfect fit for this feature. The script is being penned by Aaron Rabin, a co-executive producer and writer from the show's fourth season.
Originally inspired by the "Ryanverse" characters created by Clancy, the series has successfully updated the narrative, drawing in audiences worldwide. It has consistently ranked among Prime Video's top three most-watched series globally. Krasinski is producing the film alongside Allyson Seeger through their production company, Sunday Night.
Bernstein's previous directorial work includes the acclaimed series Ozark on Netflix, and more recently, multiple episodes of Welcome to Derry for HBO. Krasinski recently wrote, produced, and directed the family fantasy film IF, in which he starred alongside Ryan Reynolds.
