Wow! They really were casting up until the last minute, weren't they?!

Keira Knightley and Kevin Costner were only just added to the Kenneth Branagh-directed Jack Ryan project alongside new lead Chris Pine earlier in the month, yet all three gents are apparently well at work on the prequel for the Tom Clancy hero!

According to a new unfair poll, Stephen King held onto the title of "America's favorite author."

He was followed by James Patterson, John Grisham, Nora Roberts, Tom Clancy, Dean Koontz, Danielle Steel and Dan Brown.

Twilight author Stephenie Meyer didn't even make the top 10! It seems the poll only questioned people 18 and over.

Figures! Who do U think should be on top?!
