The last I heard, Clancy vetoed Harrison Ford as Jack Ryan in ANY film versions of his novels, as he was too old for the part.

: I got the following from Cinescape:

: >Neufeld 'Sums' Up Ford's Schedule
: It appears that Tom Clancy's Sum Of All Fears may be
: heading for the same fate as The Cardinal Of The
: Kremlin, which Paramount chose to pass on rather than
: adapt into film. The Calgary Herald has reported that the
: studio feels that plot of Fears, centering around a terrorist
: attack on Super Bowl Sunday, is too close for comfort to
: John Frankenheimer's Black Sunday and therefore would
: like to adapt Clancy's Debt of Honor instead. Regardless,
: Producer Mace Neufeld is moving forward with Sum Of All
: Fears, with Akiva Goldsman currently revising his script. "If
: Harrison likes it, then we'll do it towards the end of the year
: 2000 or in early 2001," the producer told the Herald. Should
: Neufeld's plan of filming in 2000 come to fruition, any hope
: that Steven Spielberg might still pull off his previously
: estimated Summer 2001 release date for Indiana Jones 4
: would seem to be dashed.<

: I wouldn't worry too much though, remember, Akiva Goldsman is the same guy that recently gave us scripts for both Batman and Robin and Lost in Space.
