John Krasinski will play Jack Ryan in a Michael Bay-produced Amazon series
From Deadline comes news that John Krasinski will be playing the title role in Jack Ryan, the upcoming Amazon series based on the popular Tom Clancy character, an investment broker turned CIA agent turned two-term President Of The United States turned all-purpose conservative fantasy. The series, produced by Michael Bay through his Platinum Dunes company, will presumably just focus on the CIA agent part, ignoring the merger of Iran and Iraq into a single state, the Ebola-based supervirus engineering by evil environmentalists, the war between Russia and China, and all of the other things that threatened the world in Clancy’s unstable Ryanverse in the 1990s and 2000s.
