built 282 days ago
Weep not for Ryan Gosling (pictured, left), who got snubbed by the Oscars this morning when he failed to score a Best Actor nomination for Lars and the Real Girl. Not only does he already have another movie on the horizon, but he could be up for a major paycheck and a franchise role. According to Moviehole, he's due to replace Ben Affleck (and Harrison Ford, pictured right, and Alec Baldwin) in Paramount's forthcoming, non-Tom Clancy-sanctioned Jack Ryan spy thriller.

Landing the controversial lead role in the film The Believer was a career breakthrough for Ryan Gosling. His performance garnered him rave reviews and industry-wide attention. He continues to be noticed as one of the most exciting actors of his generation, as recently declared by Manohla Dargis, critic for The New York Times. In 2004, he was lauded as ShoWest's Male Star of Tomorrow.

According to Moviehole, Gosling "might be" Paramount's choice to take over the central role in the studio's next attempt to resurrect the studio's dormant Jack Ryan franchise. The fictional historian/CIA agent/President, created by Tom Clancy for 1984's The Hunt for Red October, has been the focus of multiple Clancy novels, four of which -- Red October, Patriot Games, Clear and Present Danger, and The Sum of All Fears -- have been made into movies.
