Keira Knightley Gets Married To JACK RYAN!!
The Kidd here...
It looks like Chris Pine and Keira Knightley are about to be brought together in holy matrimony... sort of.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Knightley, last seen by few in SEEKING A FRIEND FOR THE END OF THE WORLD, is in talks with Paramount to join JACK RYAN, the prequel for the title character, now played by Chris Pine, which was previously done by Alec Baldwin, Harrison Ford and Ben Affleck respectively in THE HUNT FOR RED OCTOBER (Baldwin), PATRIOT GAMES (Ford), CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER (Ford again) and THE SUM OF ALL FEARS (Affleck).
Knightley would play Jack Ryan's wife, who he must try to save, along with the rest of America, from a terrorist attack seeking to collapse the U.S. economy, masterminded by Kenneth Branagh, who is also directing the picture.
LOST's Evangeline Lilly (ooohhh... disappointment) and LIKE CRAZY's Felicity Jones were also under consideration at one time, but it appears Knightley is Branagh and the studio's choice unless their negotiations break down.

The sexiest tomboy beanpole on the planet got a role in something that isn't a quirky indie movie or period drama.

Shouldn't you wait until it's a done deal before making an announcement.

Chris Pine has played James T Kirk and now Jack Ryan, yet no cunt in my work knows who the fuck he is! Too many fucking actors out there. We need a cull.

I like how in every shot of Keira they try and give her tits

Yes please. Glad you finally figured out how this works, Kidd.

I could see Evangeline Lily as a more realistic choice for Chris Pine's wife, though
by D.Vader
Keira is too tall and beautiful waifish for the shorter Pine. Lily makes a better fit.

She'll always be the world's sexiest tomboy beanpole to me.

Or a shit Natalie Portman. Either way.

I know that his take on Jack Ryan was a lot different from the character in the books but he made it work for his personality. For me he remains my favorite movie incarnation of the Jack Ryan character.

SO THEY HIRED A SECONDARY CHARACTER WITH MORE STAR POWER THAN THE LEAD?
by Mullah Omar
For that reason alone it should not have been Knightley, at least not with Pine as the lead. Is Knightley slumming with a bit part, does she simply want to work with Branagh in anticipation of other roles, or does this mean that Ryan's wife will have a more prominent role in the action? Lots of questions here.

beef up her up a bit and you've got the perfect Lara Croft...
by misnomer
I reckon she'd be up for the role too. Someone should ask her...
-
Cos she looks like a monkey
-
This isn't like Whedon on the Avengers. No one really cares about this, esp not that she is "in talks" to be in a Jack Ryan movie.

by Mr. Pricklepants
Oh, wait! Wrong franchise!
-
WTF? Are you 14?
-
If you know what I mean
-
The same 7 actors seem to be playing all the major roles now.
-
she is past her prime...what do you have, a 14 y/o brain? No one said she isn't still hot, but she peaked at some point and now past that. Most women peak in attractiveness in their late teens/early 20s. And that isn't my opinion, just the way nature works.
-
I'm sure anything Tom Clancy has already written is better than anything a screenwriter can come up with. How about a 'Debt of Honor'/'Executive Orders' two-movie deal? That would be worth watching. Or 'Red Storm Rising' (although I know, not a Jack Ryan story) if they really want to go for it.
-
Period.

Funny how a reference to the ssexy tomboy beanpole pic that used to be on the side of the AICN screen makes me nostalgic for a website!
by Sean
At no other point in history has a generation done that. That was...10-12 years ago? I've been coming to AICN since at least, if not before then? And as much of a sexy tomboy beanpole Knightley is, she can pick roles left, right and centre, Evangeline Lily (also hot) is deserving of a bigger career. Yes, she also would be a more natural fit.
-
We've just had 20 different screen names. I don't know if that's cool or sad. I was going to do the sexiest tomboy beanpole thing and figured 1 or 2 people would get it.

Correct me if I'm wrong...but wasn't "sexiest tomboy beanpole" ref to Kiera in Bend It Like Beckham???
by kenchun24
That was one of the first reviews I read on this site.And I think it was Harry's review in which he coined that title for Knightley. I still like it.That was a good one Harry.

Fist bump?

I've had this screen name for twelve years, but I think that's when they made everyone get a new one.

I guess I've been visiting the site for about 15 years, maybe more. I just remember sitting stoned in the library in eleventh grade, reading about Alien Resurrection and Titanic and Armageddon. Good times. Fuck I'm old.

Fuck this shit

Can't stand knightley in most of her films. She is way over rated and ugly as fuck. How she has been able ti be set up as a sex symbol is beyound me. Hump a back of spanner and it would have more warmth. She can't act.
-
And this is coming from a right winger who agrees totally with Clancy's politics. Why does this man think he can submit a 1,000 page novel with much slower pacing and still have it sell? I notice that the difference between Clancy in his prime versus Clancy today is he left his wife for another woman. Perhaps wife #1 was a better adviser for how to write? Just a theory of mine!

Hulk Hogan was going to be the sexy tomboy baddie in this one.
-
That would be a nice comic book movie.
-
But Keira is smoking hot. This would be a much better movie if Keira played the lesbian wide of President Kate Beckinsdale and there's a massive alien attack and the only way to save the world is to have some lesbian sex with lots of tribbing (that's not a typo for you star trek douchebags)

Baldwin was Jack Ryan Ford and Affleck were somebody else in a Jack Ryan story with Jack Ryan somehow removed. Instead of trying to re-boot Ryan with yet a.n.other, they should just do "Without Remorse" to establish Liev Schrieber's John Clark, and use that as a platform from which to then launch a "Rainbow Six" movie which has the potential to run and run as an ensemble cast franchise series, connected by key characters/actors, avoiding the "reboot" model but staying fresh at the same time.
