Sam Raimi may spearhead a franchise revival for Jack Ryan, the Tom Clancy-created CIA analyst, at Paramount Pictures, says Variety. Under the assignment, Raimi would develop and direct a series of films, produced by Lorenzo di Bonaventura and Raimi’s Buckaroo Entertainment partner Josh Donen. Apparently, the plan for Ryan’s reintroduction would involve a younger, more formative point in the agent’s career than what audiences have previously seen.
