Default Tom Clancy's Without Remorse

Quote:
Originally Posted by Collider
Shawn Ryan Will Adapt Tom Clancy's 'Without Remorse', Set in Jack Ryan Universe

In perhaps the best news of the day, Paramount Pictures has chosen The Shield creator Shawn Ryan to adapt Tom Clancy’s best-selling 1993 novel Without Remorse into a feature film. According to Vulture, Transformers scribes Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci will produce the film along with David Ellison. The film is a means of establishing a new franchise for the studio, who recently sold their major Marvel titles to Disney.

Set in the Jack Ryan universe, Remorse tells the origin story of CIA operative John Clark (who figured prominently in other Clancy novels, most notably Clear and Present Danger) and his rise to prominence as a lethal government spy. The character was played by Willem Dafoe in the film adaptation of Clear and Present Danger, whilst Liev Schrieber briefly took on the role in 2002’s The Sum of All Fears. No word on whether this film will tie in with the previously announced reboot of the Jack Ryan series (tentatively titled Moscow), which will star Chris Pine (Star Trek). It’s also unclear if the film will carry over the 1970 setting of the novel, or if it will be a contemporary piece. The film is tentatively set for 2011. Hit the jump for more.


To say that I’m excited about this news is an understatement. I read Without Remorse nearly three years ago and have been an avid Clancy enthusiast ever since — I’m in the middle of Red Rabbit as we speak. Remorse is undeniably the author’s finest novel — taut, thrilling and violent, just the way we like ’em. Out of everything he’s ever done, I felt this was the one piece of his fictional writing that would perfectly transition to the big screen. Clark is a formidable character, one with great charisma and quite a lot of depth. His offing of the local drug cartel, utilizing nothing but a big ass hunting knife and a Snickers bar, is every noble man’s wet dream.

I’ve loved all of the film adaptations and admired what actors Alec Baldwin and Harrison Ford brought to the table as Jack Ryan the younger and Jack Ryan the elder. Both did a commendable job in their respective roles, even if Baldwin inhabited the character more closely to the way I envisioned his novel counterpart.

There was no fourth film. Period.

The question is: how will Paramount handle the grittier scenes? With Ryan attached to write, one presumes he will bring the same realistic style featured in his popular television series The Shield. But what about the recompression chamber scene in which Clark (known as Kelly at the time) gruesomely (and memorably) tortures a drug runner for information, practically causing the man to implode? Will such scenes be omitted to accommodate a PG-13 rating? With the exception of Patriot Games, all of Clancy’s film adaptations have carried a PG-13 rating, which is ironic considering that the realism employed by Clancy to tell his stories is his biggest strength as an author, yet ultimately the first thing omitted from the stories during their transition from book to film.

I also question what Paramount and Ryan will choose to leave on the cutting room floor. In my opinion it makes sense to split up the novel in order to better accommodate the wealth of material within, especially the secret ops mission that takes place concurrently with Clark’s revenge mission against the Baltimore drug cartel. Such things should not be excised. I’m also not keen on the producers updating the story to fit a contemporary setting. Why not make a period film that segues into the “Ryanverse?” Hell, why not set the new Ryan series in the 80s where the character clearly belongs?

Whatever they decide to do, I think it would be killer to link this film with the reboot of the Ryan franchise. Call it “Jack Ryan Begins” if you will.

Does this mean Paramount will nix the idea of starting from scratch and go back to adapting Clancy’s novels? What do you think?

Awesome news! I love the Jack Ryan series of books and movies so I'm really hoping this works as a cohesive movie universe with interconnecting characters This will make an absolutely fantastic movie!

That reminds me that I have to read my paperback of Without Remorse. I love Tom Clancy's books but I usually need a break after two or three of them in a row. They are very loooong reads.

That's great news. This is definitely one of my favorite Clancy novels and the choice of Ryan to adapt it is perfect. The Unit and the Shield were excellent TV shows and I hope that kind of feeling is captured in the movie.

Now, if they could just get the Vince Flynn (and Bond) movies moving too, there might be hope for the secret agent genre to take off again.

Definitely hoping so

And I love the idea of Jack Ryan having a full movie universe, so I can't wait to see how it turns out

Clancy's Ryan universe was great for it's time, but I'd really love to see Flynn's Mitch Rapp series take-off on the big screen. That being said, Without Remorse is my favorite Clancy Novel (along with Rainbow Six), because I love John Clark. Casting will be everything in this movie, and I hope they get it right. Both of the past Clarks (DeFoe and Schrieber) were horrible choices IMO. I guess that's because I always pictured Tom Berringer as Clark everytime I read one of the novels. Of course, he's too old now.

Berringer is way too old to play Clark. Schrieber is perfect. He was awesome in Sum of All Fears.

It has been a long time and even the most current news are already from February, but Without Remorse is finally in production:

Director: Stefano Sollima (Sicario 2, Suburra)
Cast: Michael B. Jordan
Screenplay: Taylor Sheridan
Release Date: September 18, 2020

Quote:
Paramount is setting a date with John Clark.

Tom Clancy's Without Remorse will open on Sept. 18, 2020. The film is set to star Michael B. Jordan as John Clark, a former Navy SEAL and director of the elite counterterrorism unit Rainbow Six. Sicario: Day of the Soldado director Stefano Sollima is attached to direct the film.

Tom Clancy first introduced John Clark in the 1988 novel The Cardinal of the Kremlin. The character is considered Clancy's second most famous creation, after Jack Ryan. John Clark previously has been played by Willem Dafoe (1994's Clear and Present Danger, opposite Harrison Ford as Jack Ryan) and Liev Schreiber (2002's The Sum of All Fears, opposite Ben Affleck).

Jordan will produce Without Remorse alongside Akiva Goldsman, Josh Appelbaum and Corin Nemec. Paramount is also developing an adaptation of Clancy's 1998 novel Rainbow Six in hopes of creating a universe of Clancy properties.

A 33 year old playing Deputy Director of the CIA This is one of my favorite novels, but I've been losing excitement with each news update.

To be fair Henry Czerny was only 35 when he played Ritter in Clear & Present Danger, but he felt much older. Still wish they would've gone with someone in their 40's though.

Jodie Turner-Smith has been cast as... Karen Greer?

No word yet if she's a relative (daughter?) or if they gender-swapped James Greer. It's probably too important a name in the Clancy universe to have another character just happen to have that same last name.

Always wondered why it's taken so long to film this book. One of Clancy's best, along with Red Storm Rising.

Dang, I'm interested in this so I was hoping it would either keep the October release date or release digitally.
