Paramount has been putting a lot of effort into bringing together a new Jack Ryan project based on the character from "The Hunt For Red October," but now that those plans have been put on hold the studio is pushing forward with another project: the latest big-screen adaptation of Star Trek.
Based on the Tom Clancy character, the new Jack Ryan movie (tentatively titled "Moscow") would not be based on any of the Clancy novels but would place the character in the middle of a terrorist plot. Chris Pine, the new face of Capt. James T. Kirk, has signed on to play Ryan in the gun-toting adventure and was due to film "Moscow" in February before moving on to film Star Trek.
However, screenwriter Steve Zaillian has now left the Jack Ryan project allowing Paramount to focus on the next Trek outing. Although the finishing touches are still being applied to the script, filming on Star Trek is scheduled for the fall, with the studio eyeing a possible Summer 2012 release.
No details have been revealed on the plot of the next adventure but writers Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman have previously stated that they are looking to the days of old for some inspiration. Whereas the first movie from J.J. Abrams was about breaking free of the Star Trek canon and re-establishing the franchise, the sequel will be more about the crew of the Enterprise and the friendships that have formed between the characters.
Following its summer release in 2009, Star Trek became the all-time highest-grossing film in the franchise, even when adjusted for inflation. Starring Chris Pine as Kirk and Zachary Quinto as Spock, the film earned more than $257 million at the box office.
Abrams is believed to be returning to the director's chair for that movie, although it hasn't been confirmed just yet.
i hope that is equal or more then the one before.!!!!!!!
