Development
After the financial success of their film The Sum of All Fears (2002),
Paramount Pictures made attempts to continue the Jack Ryan film series, but
nothing came to fruition. In 2008, the company engaged director Sam Raimi to
spearhead a revival of the series, but he later dropped out due to his
commitment to the Spider-Man film series.
In October 2009, Paramount and co-financier Skydance Productions were
negotiating with actor Chris Pine to portray Jack Ryan in a film based on Tom
Clancy's character, but not on any of the books. At the time, producers
Lorenzo di Bonaventura and Mace Neufeld were working with an original
concept drafted by Hossein Amini. In August 2010, director Jack Bender was
the frontrunner to direct the film, based on a script tentatively titled Moscow by
Adam Cozad. The following month, writer Anthony Peckham was brought on to
perform rewrites, and later Steve Zaillian, who wrote the screenplay for Clear
and Present Danger (1994), was engaged to perform rewrites as well.
However, Zaillian withdrew after a few weeks and the film was put on hold by
Paramount in order for Pine to reprise his role as James T. Kirk in Star Trek
Into Darkness. During this time, David Koepp was brought on to rewrite the
script, with shooting scheduled to begin in the second half of 2012.
Production
While images from the film's production in Manhattan surfaced in late August
2012, Paramount Pictures and Skydance Productions did not announce the
start of principal photography on Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit until September
18, 2012. At this time, filming was taking place at Liverpool City Centre, which
was doubling as Moscow, Filming in New York City had been completed
earlier that month.[30] Other shooting locales included London and
Moscow.Later, reshoots were also done in New York City.
Music
The musical score of Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit was composed by Patrick
Doyle, who has collaborated on many of Kenneth Branagh's directorial efforts.
Writing the score took Doyle up to seven months, which is more than usual.
"In Jack Ryan, [Kenneth] wanted a piece of music for this scene and I had the
theme the following day for it," said Doyle on his relationship with Branagh. "I
actually wrote the main theme of the movie, just sitting there watching it. This
is the expectation of a person you’re very close to. There’s no pressure in
that you’re so relaxed, especially someone like Kenneth. He brings out the
best in you because he creates such a casual, relaxed, but hard-working
environment at the same time."
