Paramount’s Kenneth Branagh-directed thriller is said to have begun test-screening its first trailer under the name Jack Ryan: Shadow One.

The film will see Pine take the title character back to his early years, following him from the Marines to his recruitment into the CIA by Kevin Costner’s Langley analyst.

According to Slash Film, Ryan and Costner’s William Harper will take on a Russian oligarch (Branagh) who’s manipulating the stock market and tied to global terrorism.

Keira Knightley features in the supporting cast as Ryan’s wife Cathy.

Clancy’s government agent has been portrayed by Alec Baldwin (in The Hunt for Red October), Harrison Ford (Patriot Games, Clear and Present Danger) and Ben Affleck (The Sum of All Fears).

Jack Ryan: Shadow One will open in cinemas this December.
