Hollywood superstar Ben Affleck is filming the latest Tom Clancy thriller The Sum Of All Fears and with his own bit of flare. "We're trying to do something different...If you're siting thinking about the other three movies that you saw before, then we've not done our jobs properly," Ben said. The Bounce star doesn't want to be compared to Harrison Ford from Clancy's Patriot Games.

Tom Clancy's previous works, The Hunt For Red October and Patriot Games were both winners at the box office. But unlike the first two Jack Ryan flicks, this one finds the Jack chasing a terrorist threat...on the Superbowl. The Sum Of All Fears is in production right now with most of the filming taking place in Canada and is due for release later this year.
