Paramount Pictures has announced Black Panther and Creed’s Michael B. Jordan has been signed up to play the role of Rainbow Six director and erstwhile Navy Seal, John Clark. Sources have told Variety that Paramount Pictures has two movies in the works based on two Clancy novels - Rainbow Six and Without Remorse. The movies will be produced by Akiva Goldsman along with Josh Appelbaum, Andre Nemec, and Michael B. Jordan himself. I loved Without Remorse and Michael B. Jordan is great so I hope both of these movies are good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elbobo Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 Jordan is way to young to play Clark from R6, he could do Without Remorse but that was prequel novel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without Remorse isn't a prequel novel because it came out in 1993 and Rainbow Six came out in 1998. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without Remorse (the novel) is set during the Vietnam War. It's the "origin story" of John Kelly/John Clark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example Star Wars 1-3 is a prequel trilogy because it released after Star Wars 4-6. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a prequel in the sense that we were already introducd to Clark in Clear & Present Danger and The Sum of All Fears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remarkableriots Posted September 24, 2018 Author Share Posted September 24, 2018 Just make the character younger like they did with Jack Ryan in the new series who originally was a WW II veteran. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elbobo Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 Clark is young in Without Remorse but it is set 20+ years before R6 during which he is a seasoned leader/soldier/spy, if they have Jordan jump from Clark's origin story right into being the leader of R6 it is going to be weird.

Have Clark serve 10-15 years before or at the beginning of Without Remorse with a time jump. At the end of Without Remorse have him given command of R6. Or maybe they put him on the R6 team instead of being the leader? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwinIon Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 Given the casting, it's obvious they're not going the Hunt For Red October route and trying to stay true to the books. That's fine by me. If they're not going to stay true to the time period, I think it's best if you just use bits and pieces of the character stuff (Jack Ryan on Amazon), rather than trying to modernize a book (Sum of All Fears). I think Michael B. Jordan would be best utilized in a Clear and Present Danger style action/political thriller. As long as we don't end up with another Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit.

5timechamp Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 Rainbow Six deserves to be a tv mini-series.. the theme park scene from the book would be brutally tense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
