Even though this rumor still lives in the magical land of conjecture, JoBlo has heard murmurs that the director for the next Jack Ryan (Patriot Games, Clear and Present Danger, the Ben Affleck one) talkie/actioner may be none other than Mr. Fernando Meirelles, helmer of City of God, The Constant Gardener, and the upcoming adaptation of Blindness (a book that restored my faith in the power of fiction and the novel).  If anyone can add a Greengrass-level of sophistication to genre fare, it will be the man who infused the kinetic cinema of Tarantino and Scorsese into a film about the depths of poverty. — bittentongue
