Sam Raimi To Direct CIA Man Jack Ryan’s Return To Paramount??

I am – Hercules!! “Spider-Man” writer-director Sam Raimi is negotiating with Paramount to bring back Jack Ryan, CIA-analyst protagonist of “The Hunt For Red October,” “Patriot Games,” “The Sum of All Fears” and “Clear and Present Danger.” The plan, apparently, is to have Raimi direct a whole series of movies focused on a Ryan even younger than Ben Affleck. The first could hit cinemas as early as summer 2010. According to Variety, the studio has not decided whether to use another Tom Clancy novel or just go the James Bond route and switch to stories not based on books.
