A film that inspired our project - Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit





The film based on Tom Clancy's character once played by Harrison Ford, was released in 2014 as a reboot to the Jack Ryan franchise. Starring and directed by Kenneth Branagh as the arguably trend setting, evil Russian tycoon villain. 

Based on characters created by Tom Clancy and adapted for the screen by Adam Cozad and David Koepp, the film grossed $135.5 million at the box office from a budget of $60 million. 

It brought together currently popular actors such as Chris Pine (Star Trek), Keira Knightly (Pirates of the Caribbean) and Kevin Costner who is a Hollywood A-list veteran.  

Comparatively, the film flopped compared to previous Jack Ryan films such as Clear and Present Danger and Air Force 1. 
 Currently, it is unknown whether there will be a sequel to the film as funding has currently not been confirmed.
