So who owns the Jack Ryan character created by Tom Clancy and featured in books and movies like PATRIOT GAMES, HUNT FOR RED OCTOBER and EXECUTIVE ORDERS. Would it suprise you to learn the answer isn't "Tom Clancy"?

Writer-producer-director, Robert Meyer Burnett, explains how intellectual property ownership can get tangled and muddy and the impact that can have on producers aspiring to make their "next great movie."

Plus letters from fellow Imagination Connoisseurs, questions from fans in the live stream and more!
