In a competitive situation, Jack Ryan, Paramount Televisions hot TV series project based on Tom Clancys popular CIA hero, has landed at Amazon. I hear the streaming service has given a series commitment to the drama, from the former Lost duo of co-showrunner Carlton Cuse and writer Graham Roland, Michael Bays Platinum Dunes, Skydance Media, as well as Paramount TV. Everyones intention is to go straight-to-series on the project, which would be done based on completed scripts and a bible.
Amazon is considered a suitable home for Jack Ryan as the online retailer sells Clancys books as well as the Jack Ryan movies on DVD and is the streaming home for most or all of them, creating opportunities for a multi-platform push for the show. Paramount TV already is in business with Amazon, developing a series adaptation of the Paramount movie Galaxy Quest.
Conceived by Cuse and Roland based on Clancys novels, I had heard that the show is not a direct adaptation of the books as were the first Jack Ryan movies but a new contemporary take on the character in his prime as a CIA analyst/operative using the novels as source material. Roland executive produces with Cuse and Lindsey Springer of Carlton Cuse Prods. as well as Platinum Dunes Bay, Brad Fuller and Andrew Form and the movie franchises producer Mace Neufeld.
