Star Trek actor Chris Pine is in talks to play Jack Ryan in the revived spy franchise, according to Variety.

Paramount is in early negotiations with Pine about taking the lead role in the project, which is currently being tweaked by producers Lorenzo di Bonaventura and Mace Neufeld.

Based on the Tom Clancy novels, the film will have an original script penned by Hossein Amini.

Alec Baldwin (The Hunt for Red October), Harrison Ford (Patriot Games, Clear and Present Danger) and Ben Affleck (The Sum Of All Fears) have all played Ryan previously, while George Clooney was linked to the role earlier this year.

It is not known whether Pine would begin work on the movie before or after a Star Trek sequel.
