Looks like Spider-Man director Sam Raimi is hooking up with Paramount Pictures to bring Tom Clancy hero Jack Ryan back to the big screen.

According to Variety, Rami will develop and direct a series of new movies centering on the CIA analyst character that was played by Alec Baldwin, Harrison Ford, and Ben Affleck over the course of four films from 1990 to 2002.

Variety adds that the studio may opt to set the film in the present day, with a global threat triggering the action. This would seem to indicate that the movie won't be based on an existing Clancy novel. Now, let us know:

Who do you think should take over the role of Jack Ryan?

Anton Yelchin (upcoming Star Trek, Charlie Bartlett) is in negotiations to star as post-apocalyptic warrior Kyle Reese in Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Yelchin will play a teen version of Reese, the man who fathered world savior John Connor in the original Terminator film. Christian Bale will play John Connor in the movie, which is set for release on May 22, 2009.

Reese, one of the children who survived a machine-driven nuclear holocaust, befriends Marcus (Sam Worthington), an early edition of the Terminator cyborg played in previous films by Arnold Schwarzenegger.

In McG's film, the character is a young version of the one played by Michael Biehn, who traveled back in time in the original to impregnate Sarah Connor (Linda Hamilton) and father the world's future savior.

The film picks up with their son (Bale), now in his 30s, fighting desperately to save a decimated civilization against machines that have taken control.

Run Fatboy Run!

It's more than just a command to your local, overweight bartender. It's the name of David Schwimmer's latest directorial effort. How do critics feel about the comedy? Let's take a look...

- Run, Fatboy, Run is the type of romantic comedy apt to be described as "nice" or "sweet," both of which are codewords for "unexceptional" and "useless." -- Slant Magazine

- An unapologetic throwback to the days when comedies didn't have to be all that original -- just as long as they were funny. -- Cinematical

- Schwimmer just doesn't have the directorial wit to elevate the intermittently amusing script, and none of the cast seems dedicated enough to raise the bar either. -- Film Journal International

- There are no surprises here -- just broad, frequently slapstick gags that don't avoid but do tamp down a bit on the bodily-function school of yokkery. -- Variety

Quentin Tarantino's third movie, Jackie Brown, had the impossible job of following up Pulp Fiction.

There are new behind-the-scenes shots of Zac Efron and Michelle Trachtenberg in 17 Again (previously called just Seventeen) that will be featured in the April 2008 issue of teen mag J-14.

Regarding the film, Producer Adam Shankman recently said:

"This is about a man whose life has not gone the way he wants it to, so he wishes he was 17 again and he gets his wish. And then he's realizing it's nothing like he thought it would be. So it's a reverse Big. It has as many funny scenes in it as it does heartfelt scenes."

17 Again opens in August.

In an interview with MTV News, director Christopher Nolan says fans should expect a whole lot from The Dark Knight.

"In this case, literally, we were able to directly carry on and explore the idea that Gary Oldman brings up at the end of Batman Begins, which is the idea of escalation," said Nolan. "We have seen the rise of Batman, we have seen his rise to power, now what are the criminals going to do? How are they going to fight that? That's the jumping off point for this film, and we just ran with it as far as we could."
