Hot on the heels of yesterday’s release of the first poster poster for Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit, Paramount has issued the first trailer for the newest iteration of the weathered character. With Tom Clancy passing away yesterday, it certainly seems like Paramount has found a golden spot to market their film, however sketchy that may be.

As I noted yesterday, the Jack Ryan character has already been performed by Alec Baldwin, Ben Affleck and, most famously, Harrison Ford. Chris Pine (Star Trek) is the latest to step into the Jack Ryan shoes.

Directed by Kenneth Branagh (who also plays the villain in the film), Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit will also feature Keira Knightley, Kevin Costner, Nonso Anozie, and David Paymer. For now, the film is slated for a Christmas release but, considering the many turning tides of films lately, it’s been rumored to be moving back into January territory. The fact that we’ve yet to see a trailer lends credence to that rumor.

Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit is directed by Kenneth Branagh and stars Chris Pine, Keira Knightley, Kevin Costner, Nonso Anozie, and David Paymer. It’s currently set up for a Christmas, 2013 release.
