Oscar-nominated screenwriter Hossein Amini has been hired to pen the upcoming Jack Ryan sequel.
The CIA analyst, who was created by Tom Clancy, has not appeared on screen since 2002's The Sum Of All Fears.
Paramount Pictures have instructed Hossein to write a script focusing on the origins of Ryan, as opposed to an existing Clancy novel, according to the Hollywood Reporter.
Earlier this year Spider-Man director Sam Raimi decided against making the movie, choosing instead to focus on his superhero franchise.
No casting announcements have been made yet, however Harrison Ford, who played Ryan in Patriot Games and Clear And Present Danger, recently voiced his interest in reprising the role.
Alec Baldwin and Ben Affleck have also portrayed the character.
