We've got great news for fans of Ken Follett's The Pillars of the Earth — not to mention miniseries fans in general. Reelz is set to be the premiere home for the eight-part adaptation of the sequel, World Without End, which was on The New York Times bestseller list for 26 weeks.
Set in Kingsbridge 200 years after the events of Pillars, World Without End picks up with a new cast of characters. Caris, a feisty young woman played by Charlotte Riley (The Duchess, Wuthering Heights), inspires her medieval town to confront the most powerful forces of her time, the Church and the Crown, as Kingsbridge fights to save the town from ruin and, ultimately, usher in a new era of freedom, innovation, and enlightenment.
World Without End also stars Cynthia Nixon (Sex and the City, The Big C) as the beautiful and deadly schemer Petranilla, Miranda Richardson (Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, »

Like a naughty little TV star, Alec Baldwin's been teasing the end of 30 Rock, which is likely to end after season 7. I don't know about you, but 30 Rock is my personal choice for the greatest sitcom ever. Yes, I've seen I Love Lucy. And Seinfeld. And All in the Family. And The Mary Tyler Moore Show. And Webster. But 30 Rock packs more jokes, love, and finesse into its 30 minutes than any other series. I'll miss it so, so much.
And that's what leads me to today's topic: the eternal hotness of Alec Baldwin. As Jack Donaghy, he's self-assured and hilarious, but he's found a few others way to be hot in his 25-year career. Nudity is one of my favorite options.
So here they are, my choices for Alec Baldwin's 10 hottest moments. Liz Lemon, look out.

In the world of film there are few accolades higher than being considered a venerable director; be it a ‘genre master’, like John Ford with his westerns, or a jack of all trades such as Stanley Kubrick or Ridley Scott. If there’s one thing film history shows us it is that some directors have that knack for making great film after great film.
However, there is also a rich vein of historical one hit wonder directors, those who hit one film out of the park and then never repeat that success, whether due to self-indulgence, directing only a very small number of films, or having fluked their one triumph.
Here’s our top ten masters of that brief shining moment.
10. Tony Kaye
A truly interesting one, you could debate whether Tony Kaye deserves to be on the list on the basis of never truly having a hit. Having just »

News has broken that the new Jack Ryan movie has found a new director after Jack Bender vacated the project last week. His replacement will be Brit-stalwart Kenneth Branagh, who last summer showed he was capable of helming a big-budget blockbuster when Marvel’s Thor became a huge hit.
Branagh was the surprise choice for Thor, the actor and director was more famed for bringing Shakespeare’s works to screen and the much-maligned Mary Shelley’S Frankenstein. Paramount obviously feel he’s the right man to take over the project with a decision that comes rather soon after the news of Bender’s exit.
Tom Clancy’s CIA analyst and all-round American hero, has been portrayed by Alec Baldwin in The Hunt For Red October (1990), Harrison Ford in Patriot Games (1992) and Clear And Present Danger (1994) and finally Ben Affleck in The Sum Of All Fears (2002).

EW has confirmed a Variety report that Thor director Kenneth Branagh is in negotiations to direct the yet untitled Jack Ryan film for Paramount.
Based on the character created by Tom Clancy (and previously portrayed by Alec Baldwin, Harrison Ford, and Ben Affleck), Chris Pine (Star Trek) is on board to star, with Lorenzo di Bonaventura producing. A source close to the negotiations says they’re hoping to start production in September.
Branagh, an Oscar nominee, most recently for his supporting role in My Week With Marilyn, proved he could direct more than just art-house fare when Thor pulled in $449 million worldwide. »

Earlier this week, it was revealed that director Jack Bender has decided to drop out of Jack Ryan, a Tom Clancy creation who has previously been played by Alec Baldwin (The Hunt for Red October), Harrison Ford (Patriot Games/Clear and Present Danger) and Ben Affleck (The Sum of All Fears). However, the film is still going ahead with a tentative release date set for either 2013 or 2014. Thor director Kenneth Branagh is now in talks to helm the project which will still include Star Trek's Chris Pine as the CIA analyst. Paramount are reportedly planning to start production this September and have hired Spider-Man screenwriter David Koepp to rewrite the script. »

About a week ago, we learned that Jack Bender ("Alcatraz") dropped out of directing the new Jack Ryan film, called "Moscow," due to a scheduling conflict with his television projects. Paramount Pictures was hoping to begin shooting as soon as Chris Pine, who will be playing Jack Ryan, completed shooting the "Star Trek" sequel. The goal has been to meet that start date, which is why the studio immediately started looking for Bender's replacement. Variety is now reporting that Kenneth Branagh (Thor) is in negotiations to direct. The new movie is based on the character created by Tom Clancy. That character has previously been played by Alec Baldwin in "The Hunt for Red October," Harrison Ford in "Patriot Games" and "Clear and Present Danger," and Ben Affleck in "The Sum of All Fears." »

Just over a week ago director Jack Bender was forced to depart the untitled fifth Jack Ryan project in development at Paramount Pictures and Skydance Pictures due to his already heavy workload.
Now, the studios have found a replacement - Kenneth Branagh according to Variety. The actor and filmmaker, who helmed money-spinner "Thor" for Paramount last year, is reportedly in talks to take over the gig. Should he sign the project would once again become a priority at the studio.
Chris Pine ("Star Trek") is still attached to play Tom Clancy's character while the likes of David Koepp and Steve Zaillian have done work on the script which aims to reboot the franchise which has seen four films onscreen including "The Hunt for Red October," "Patriot Games," "Clear and Present Danger" and "The Sum of All Fears".
Lorenzo di Bonaventura is producing which aims to begin production shortly after »

Oscar nominee Kenneth Branagh is set to step back behind the camera for another blockbuster - trade reports suggest he has signed on to direct the latest Jack Ryan action movie.
The British actor, who won acclaim as the director of last year's Thor, will take charge of the latest Tom Clancy movie adaptation, which will feature Chris Pine as the book-to-screen hero, according to Variety.
Ryan has been played on the big screen by Alec Baldwin, Harrison Ford and Ben Affleck, while the franchise films The Hunt For Red October, Patriot Games, A Clear and Present Danger and The Sum of All Fears have been directed by John McTiernan, Phillip Noyce and Phil Alden Robinson. »

For Kenneth Branagh, there is life beyond the realm of Asgard.
Paramount is looking to the "Thor" director to revive their on-again, off-again attempt to bring CIA superstar "Jack Ryan" back into action, according to Vulture.
"Star Trek" star Chris Pine is attached to play the title role in the reboot of the Tom Clancy spy franchise, which has been in development for several years. Jack Bender ("Lost") had signed on to direct the project but recently dropped out due to the endless creative differences over what direction the film should go in.
Luckily, David Koepp recently turned in a draft of the screenplay that manages to be the character-driven espionage story that Pine wants, the action movie that producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura wants and the smart thriller that Paramount executives want. No small task -- and the final piece of the puzzle seems to have fallen into place with Branagh being approached to direct. »

It looks as though Paramount has quickly found a replacement for the new Jack Ryan movie. At first Jack Bender was attached to direct the movie, but had to drop out due to prior TV obligations, now Vulture is reporting that Thor director Kenneth Branagh is in talks to direct the movie, which sees Star Trek star Chris Pine taking on the role of Jack Ryan.
But another reason why Jack Bender left the job was because there were just to many writers taking a stab at the movie, and with so many ideas penned on the script, the movie went through a prolonged developmental process. Then producer Lorzeno di Bonaventura and Paramount execs had creative differences of their own. Bonaventura wanted an action movie, but the Paramount Execs wanted a thriller. And screenwriter David Koepp turned in a script that would supposedly make the two parties happy.

It seems that Paramount’s reboot of the ‘Jack Ryan’ franchise may not be as dead in the water as everyone thought. Following on from last week’s news that original director Jack Bender vacated the director’s, now comes word from Variety that Paramount and Skydance have wasted no time in securing a replacement with news that ‘Thor’ director Kenneth Branagh is in talks to take over the reins of the project.
After Bender departed the project due to those pesky scheduling conflicts, it seemed that Tom Clancy’s CIA analyst hero would not be making a return to the big screen, but with news now of Branagh stepping in, it seems that the project is once again full steam ahead for Paramount.
Chris Pine is still slated to star as Jack Ryan, first brought to life in Tom Clancy’s best selling series of novels and then on screen, »

Since director Jack Bender left the production of the next Jack Ryan film, Paramount has been scrambling to get a director for their latest spy adventure, written by David Koepp. Bender reportedly left due to scheduling conflicts, which confounded Paramount, since the film has been in development for the last two years. The film's star, Chris Pine, is currently filming the next Star Trek film with J.J. Abrams, which has kept him busy while Paramount scrambled to find a director. Their latest choice is Kenneth Branagh, director of last year's superhero blockbuster Thor. Branagh chose not to film Thor 2 for Walt Disney Pictures, leaving it to Game of Thrones director Alan Taylor. Branagh was previously attached to The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society, but if this news proves true, Branagh joins fellow Jack Ryan film directors such as John McTiernan (The Hunt For Red October), Philip Noyce (Patriot Games, »

Though he's not set to return for the sequel to his big hit Thor, Kenneth Branagh is apparently not done stepping into the director's chair behind very, very big movies. According to Variety, he's been selected as the new director for the next movie about Jack Ryan, the character created by Tom Clancy who will be revived by Chris Pine. The untitled film will presumably be in the vein of previous Ryan adventures like The Hunt For Red October and A Clear and Present Danger, and really nothing at all like Branagh's previous films Hamlet, Dead Again and As You Like It (among others). Lost veteran Jack Bender was on board for a long time to handle this new spy thriller, but he backed out last week, making a lot of us believe the long-gestating project might just disappear. But with Branagh on board and on the heels of Thor, »

Just over a week after original director Jack Bender (Lost) dropped out of the project, Paramount looks to have found a suitable replacement to helm their reboot of the Jack Ryan franchise (The Hunt for Red October, Patriot Games). Vulture reports that Kenneth Branagh is now in negotiations to direct the pic, which sees Star Trek’s Chris Pine take over the franchise that has been toplined in the past by Alec Baldwin, Harrison Ford and Ben Affleck. The project has been in development for quite some time, with a number of writers taking a stab at the screenplay. Paramount is hoping to finally get cameras rolling later this year once Pine wraps the Star Trek sequel, and having a director onboard is a fairly crucial necessity to make that happen. Hit the jump to find out what the hold up has been. Given the revolving door of screenwriters on the project, »

Following last week's update that saw formally-attached director Jack Bender departing Paramount Pictures' still-untitled Jack Ryan project , comes word, via Variety , that Kenneth Branagh has now taken the reins. Chris Pine is still attached to play the Tom Clancy character, which has previously appeared in the novel-to-screen adaptations The Hunt for Red October , Patriot Games , Clear and Present Danger and The Sum of All Fears . Producer Mace Neufeld previously spoke with ComingSoon.net about the next chapter in the popular franchise. "We pick him up when he's on Wall Street," he said. "...[but] the Jack Ryan movies have never been action films. They're kind of 'thinking man's thrillers.' Jack is referred to as a 'water-walker' because of »
