News > Paramount Attracts Writer for Jack Ryan Film

Hossein Amini is set to write new Jack Ryan film for Paramount Pictures.  According to the Hollywood Reporter, Mace Neufeld and Lorenzo Di Bonaventura are producing and at one point Sam Rami was attached to direct but that has fizzled out.

Amini is best known for his literary adaptations of Henry James, Thomas Hardy and Elmore Leonard. His new Ryan film is planned as an origin story, not derived from Clancy's novels and ultimately featuring a new, younger star.
