Blackfilm.com<\/strong> has confirmed that Nonso Anozie<\/a><\/strong>, who recently appeared as Xaro Xhoan Daxos in the second season of HBO’s Games of Thrones<\/strong>, has been added to the cast of ‘Jack Ryan’<\/strong> as principal photography started shooting.<\/p>\n

Paramount Pictures, a division of Viacom, Inc., and Skydance Productions announced today that principal photography has begun on \u201cJACK RYAN,\u201d<\/strong> from Academy Award\u00ae-nominated director Kenneth Branagh<\/strong>, starring Chris Pine<\/strong>, Academy Award\u00ae-nominated Keira Knightley and Academy Award\u00ae-nominated Kevin Costner<\/strong>. The film is shooting in New York, Moscow and London and is slated for release on December 25, 2013.<\/p>\n

Based on the Jack Ryan character created by bestselling author Tom Clancy<\/strong>, the film is a contemporary action thriller set in the present day. The original story, written by David Koepp<\/strong> (\u201cANGELS AND DEMONS,\u201d \u201cWAR OF THE WORLDS\u201d), follows a young Jack as he uncovers a financial terrorist plot.<\/p>\n

Lorenzo di Bonaventura<\/strong> (the \u201cTRANSFORMERS\u201d franchise, \u201cRED\u201d) will produce through his Di Bonaventura Pictures banner, along with Mace Neufeld<\/strong> (\u201cTHE HUNT FOR RED OCTOBER,\u201d \u201cPATRIOT GAMES\u201d) and David Barron<\/strong> (the \u201cHARRY POTTER\u201d franchise). David Ellison, Dana Goldberg<\/strong> and Paul Schwake<\/strong> of Skydance Productions (\u201cMISSION IMPOSSIBLE: GHOST PROTOCOL,\u201d \u201cTRUE GRIT\u201d) will executive produce along with Tommy Harper<\/strong> (\u201cMISSION IMPOSSIBLE: GHOST PROTOCOL\u201d).<\/p>\n

\u201cJACK RYAN\u201d stars Pine (\u201cSTAR TREK,\u201d \u201cRISE OF THE GUARDIANS\u201d) as the title character; Knightley (\u201cANNA KARENINA,\u201d the \u201cPIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN\u201d franchise) as his fianc\u00e9 Cathy Muller; Costner (\u201cHATFIELDS & MCCOYS,\u201d \u201cDANCES WITH WOLVES\u201d) as Ryan\u2019s CIA handler Harper; and Peter Andersson<\/strong> (\u201cTHE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO\u201d trilogy) as security agent Dmitri Lemkov. Branagh, in addition to directing the film, will take on the role of Russian oligarch Viktor Cherevin.<\/p>\n

It hasn’t been established what role Anozie will play in the film since it’s not based from any of Clancy’s previous books on Ryan.<\/p>\n

Anozie was last seen on the big screen opposite Liam Neesom<\/strong> in action thriller ‘The Grey<\/a>,’ <\/strong> and will next be seen opposite Viola Davis<\/strong> in the sci-fi film, ‘Ender’s Game.’ <\/strong>He also appeared with Jason Momoa<\/strong> in 2011’s ‘Conan the Barbarian.’
