Kenneth Branagh and Chris Pine bring Liverpool's Strand to standstill with dramatic car chase filming By Gemma JaleelSep 19 2012 (LIVERPOOL ECHO)




THE HOLLYWOOD touch transformed parts of Liverpool last night as Kenneth Branagh and Chris Pine began another night of film shoots for new blockbuster Jack Ryan.

Production company August Street Films Ltd, based at Pinewood Studios in Buckinghamshire, were filming car chase sequences for the movie based on the Tom Clancy spy novels.


The city was transformed into an international backdrop for the fast-paced spy movie Jack Ryan.

With New York Police Department cars and Russian shop frontage and street signs, the city took on a definite international feel.

Directed by Branagh and featuring Pride and Prejudice star Keira Knightley, the film will see Star Trek actor Chris Pine reprise the role of CIA agent Jack Ryan.

The role was previously played on the big screen by Ben Affleck, Alec Baldwin and Harrison Ford.

Pine was seen taking directions from Branagh yesterday evening as the second night of filming got under way.
