Paramount took their time unveiling Kenneth Branagh's Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit, but with the film set to open in just a couple of months they're pulling out all of the stops. After the first trailer debuted just last week, a second one has hit and reconfirms that Tom Clancy's most popular CIA analyst has now become a Jason Bourne clone.
At least that's the takeaway from all of the footage that has been revealed, with star Chris Pine beating up bad guys and taking the field to foil explosive terrorist plots. It's a very different sort of film than we got in The Hunt for Red October, Patriot Games , Clear and Present Danger, and The Sum of All Fears, but it's one that may play better to audiences looking for more action than political intrigue. The flip side is that there's very little about the film that stands out as special.
Branagh directs and co-stars alongside Kevin Costner and Keira Knightley, and we can expect to see Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit in theaters Christmas Day.
