Variety has learned that actor/director Kenneth Branagh - who's already set to direct Paramount Pictures' reboot of the Jack Ryan series - is also in negotiations to play the action thriller's villain. If discussions go well, Branagh will play the "Russian villain, who with the help of the local government, masterminds a plot to destroy America’s economy by making the dollar worthless." The title character (played by Star Trek star Chris Pine) "is an ex-Marine who works as a successful financial analyst in Moscow.

Hip-hop artist Sole has been pushing boundaries in his music and videos for years, he even recently thought he was Ben Bernanke, but the Denver-based artist has really outdone himself in this new video from his Sole And The Skyrider Band projet titled, "Bad Captain Swag."
The visually stunning video depicts a grim future ruled by robots, an Earth surrounded by broken down satellites and space shuttles with a massive digital sign in orbit reading, "Buy Swag - Feel Fear - Feel Guilt."
On the production of the video, Sole told HuffPost:
The video is a collaboration with game designers from Ubisoft and Insomniac games who worked on titles such as the official American Army video game and many Tom Clancey titles. Together we set out to create a virtual world a thousand or so years in a future ruled by robots and corporations... a true "society of the spectacle.

The death of Superman created quite a stir when it happened back in 1992. Max Landis (Chronicle) was impacted enough that he decided to make a short film called The Death and Return of Superman. The film is a comedic viral short that stars Elijah Wood, Mandy Moore, Elden Henson, Morgan Krantz, Zach Cregger, Ron Howard, Simon Pegg, Matt Bennett, Sarah Shahi, and Barats and Beretta.
Here's an official synopsis:
The Death and Return of Superman forever changed comics. Superman's tragic death was not just mourned by comic book readers, it echoed throughout the entire country. What is never mentioned, however, is just how poorly conceived The Death and Return of Superman saga was and how it shattered the integrity of the comic book industry. A follow up to his previous comic web videos Cooking with Comics: Knightfall and Vague Recollections of: Watchmen, writer/director Max Landis shows us through reenactment...

Though we don't see him much these days, for a few years Tom Clancey's Jack Ryan had a great run onscreen. Alec Baldwin was the first actor to play the role in The Hunt for Red October. Then Harrison Ford had a good run as Ryan in Patriot Games and A Clear and present Danger. It all came to an end, though, when Ben Affleck's The Sum of All Fears finished off the franchise.
But since Clancey's books and video games are still selling strong, Variety reports that Paramount Pictures wants to reboot the franchise and is negotiating with Star Trek's Chris Pine to play the Ryan role. Hossein Amini wrote the script for the reboot based on an original concept. No director has been named since Sam Raimi left the project.
Before Pine starts work on a Ryan movie or Star Trek 2, he'll be busy with...
