There’s been talk recently about how Paramount is prepping another Jack Ryan movie and that George Clooney was interested in the role. (Or that Paramount was interested in Clooney, depending upon who you talked to.) Well, producer Lorenzo Di Bonaventura told MTV that Clooney isn’t the man to lead the new film, because the script is “not written for a man his age.” Or, as Di Bonaventura says, “sorry, George.”

Ouch!!!

This is sort of a dumb question, but was Harrison Ford too old to play Jack Ryan in Patriot Games/Clear and Present Danger. Because I think that he was in his early 50s when he did those movies.
