Tom Clancy's JACK RYAN Taps PASSENGERS Director Morten Tyldum To Helm Pilot Episode
Academy Award-nominated director Morten Tyldum has lined up his next project, and it's a steep departure from his last directorial venture, the divisive space romance Passengers. Come check it out!
Deadline is reporting that Amazon's upcoming spy drama Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan, which has been ordered straight-to-series, has enlisted Academy Award-nominated director Morten Tyldum (The Imitation Game; Passengers) to helm the series' pilot episode.
John Krasinski (The Hollars) will headline the series, which follows Clancy's beloved hero at an early stage in his career when he's an up-and-coming analyst at the CIA, who then finds himself thrust into a deadly field assignment for the very first time. We'll join Ryan as he begins to uncover a secret pattern in terrorist communication that puts him right smack dab in the center of a very real and very dangerous new global threat.
Krasinski will be joined by Abbie Cornish (Geostorm) as Ryan's future lady love Cathy Muller, Wendell Pierce (The Odd Couple) as James Greer, Dina Shihabi (Amira & Sam) as Hani, and Ali Suliman (Lone Survivor) as Suleiman.
In addition to Tyldum, series producer Dan Sackheim (The Americans) has also been tapped to direct a number of episodes during the show's freshman season.
