Hossein Amini wrote the original draft of the script for the film, formerly titled "Moscow", while Adam Cozad was hired to re-write it in April of last year. Anthony Peckham also took a crack at it.
Steve Zaillian, who penned the third film in the franchise "Clear and Present Danger", was attached to re-write Cozad's work. A few weeks later Zaillian withdrew from the job and the studio now Koepp is next to perform further work on the screenplay. The hiring of Hollywood's most famous go-to rewriter Koepp ("Mission: Impossible," "Spider-Man," "Jurassic Park") does not come cheap, but it means that Paramount's is determined to make the project work.
The studio also still wants to have actor Chris Pine as Ryan and pushed back the action film by at least a few months so that Pine can shoot the as yet Untitled Star Trek Sequel Lost's Jack Bender is still due to direct the action reboot Lorenzo di Bonaventura is producing.
