When I read the Notebook years before the movie I loved it. I heard that Ryan was going to play Noah Calhoun and I though he was wrong for the part. Boy was I mistake. He has proven time and again that he is our generation’s best actor.

Alec Baldwin was the perfect Jack Ryan…and i also think Ben Affleck was definitely not bad as the younger Jack Ryan

but overall, THE SUM OF ALL FEARS wasn’t great. that recurring “you’re still here” bit irks me every time. but Phil Robinson did give us SNEAKERS and that’s a great movie

Ryan Gosling taking over a new movie not even based on a Tom Clancy book? yes, i must agree that i am not too thrilled about this idea and i have no qualms with Ryan Gosling as an actor.

I was looking forward to seeing debt of honor on-screen but unless they actually get an older actor, then that’s not going to happen. I like sum of all fears (the movie) but couldn’t help thinking what could have been.

Thanks for the heads up on the script review, they actually managed to update it without ruining it completely. I would absolutely HATE to see Phoenix in that role though. Brandon Routh is slightly better, but there are quite a few actors i would prefer before them.
Thanks again.

Maybe I’m one of the few people but I truly enjoyed Sum of All Fears, yes even with Ben Affleck playing Ryan.

To me it sounds like they are taking the character name and running with it in hopes that it will draw people into the theater. I know John or Doug has said it many times before but why don’t they just create a new movie with the same premise and a new character? Enough with the reboots already, time for some new stuff!

I think Serena is referring to the Jack Ryan franchise specifically in regards to movies about the books. Not Rainbow Six.

In fact the Rainbow Six games and book (singular) have little to do with Jack Ryan. They actually focus on a spinoff character John Clark. Ryan is barely mentioned, let alone involved.

The success of the Rainbow Six games has nothing to do with the Jack Ryan catalog of movies. Homework done.

And WITHOUT REMORSE has gone through multiple directors, actors, screenwriters since…forever now.

The novel Without Remorse would be a great beginning and a much better fit for Gosling than Jack Ryan.

Quality not withstanding, the series has always been a reliable money-maker for Paramount. But doing a second “re-boot” is…iffy at best.

And Gosling as Ryan? REALLY?!? Good actor? Yes. But…I’m having trouble visioning him as CIA bad-ass Jack Ryan. Then again I myself had an unconvential idea of who should be the 4th Ryan…Brandon Routh. But he’s Superman right now. So, that won’t happen!

I think he would be a solid Jack Ryan. Hopefully with a decent sript and director, this film will not suck. But it could go either way.
