Sam Raimi may take on Jack Ryan after ‘Hell’

If things go well during talks, Paramount may sign Sam Raimi to develop and direct a series of films based on the Jack Ryan CIA analyst character created by Tom Clancy. If this finds its way onto paper, it would likely be the next project Raimi takes on after completing Drag Me to Hell. Raimi has stated some interest based on his love of the character.

[The intention is to generate several films Raimi would develop and direct, featuring Ryan at a younger, more formative point in his career than previously depicted. One invention the studio is considering is to set the film in the present, with the action triggered by a global threat.] — Variety
