According to THR, Keira Knightley is in negotiations to star opposite Chris Pine in Paramount's Jack Ryan. She will play the female lead, beating out opposition in the form of Evangeline Lilly and Felicity Jones. The movie will be directed by Kenneth Branagh, who is also playing the villain. The film is a prequel to Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan series of books, which produced previous movies starring Alec Baldwin, Harrison Ford and Ben Affleck. Adam Cozad and Anthony Peckham wrote the screenplay, while David Koepp penned the most recent draft.

Aw, but Keira is just awful. Truly awful. And she has no boobs, and a body like a 12 year old boy. Horrible.

Kiera Knightly is insanely gorgeous. Seriously her face is BEAUTIFUL. She is a decent actress, much better than Jessica Biel.

she does have gorgeous face, but yeah..her body's just...ahem...not too womanly.

like i said before, i think out of all three, Evangeline Lilly's the best choice.

but..i thought Affleck's Sum of All Fears was the PREQUEL. it shows how the young Ryan establishes his place among the A-list analysts, in that movie, right?

btw, is Kat Dennings or Tom Hiddleston gonna be in this one too..?? or maybe, Chris Hemsworth..as Branagh's heavy's bodyguard..??
