Re: Chris Pine: from Captain Kirk to Jack Ryan

I think he's actually a pretty good choice for a younger version of this character. However, considering how long they've been talking about rebooting this franchise and how many names have been mentioned as the new Ryan (including older Ryans returning), I'm gonna have to take a "believe it when I see it" stance on this news.

He's better than Ben Affleck. Hunt for Red October is still one of the greatest movies EVER. Don't EVEN try to remake that movie without Sean Connery.

So we've had:
The Shadow
Indiana Jones
Daredevil
and now Captain Kirk as Jack Ryan.
