Chris Pine is in the process of rebooting his second high-profile character for Paramount Pictures, and 2013 is most likely the year he becomes a household name. We'll see him reprise the role of Captain Kirk in J.J. Abrams' 'Star Trek 2' in May, while next winter brings us Pine take on Jack Ryan in, well, ' Jack Ryan.' If you were wondering what the latter character will look like, today's your lucky day, as the first image of Pine-as-Ryan has been revealed.

As you can see from said image (via ComingSoon.net), production has officially begun on 'Jack Ryan,' which will tell the origin story of the fictional CIA operative. Not a whole lot to take away from this picture, other than shooting is taking place in Manhattan (South Street Seaport, it appears) and Jack has expensive taste in motorcycles - that's a Ducati, baby.

Directed by Kenneth Branagh, who also co-stars in the film as the main baddie, 'Jack Ryan' will be released on December 25, 2013, a nice Christmas present for folks who have been clamoring to see the Tom Clancy character return to the big screen.
