There is a rumor circulating right now that Ryan Gosling is going to be the new Jack Ryan, the role made famous by Harrison Ford in Patriot Games and Clear and Present Danger, also played by Alec Baldwin in The Hunt for Red October and Ben Affleck in The Sum of All Fears. Based on the novels by Tom Clancy it seems like an odd choice for the actor to take, that is until I read the rumor of the director they are trying to attach, Fernando Meirelles director of City of God and The Constant Gardner. The upcoming film will not be based on any of Clancy's previous novels and will just carry on the Jack Ryan name. The title of the film will be By Any Means Necessary.
