‘Without Remorse’: Watch Trailer For Michael B. Jordan’s Action Flick Set In The ‘Jack Ryan’ Universe – Drops April 30th On Amazon

Tom Clancy’s Without Remorse, or simply Without Remorse, is an upcoming American action thriller film directed by Stefano Sollima and written by Taylor Sheridan and Will Staples. It is based on the 1993 novel of the same name by Tom Clancy and a spin-off of the Jack Ryan film series. The film tells the origin story of John Kelly (aka John Clark), a U.S. Navy SEAL, who uncovers an international conspiracy while seeking justice for the murder of his pregnant wife by Russian soldiers. When Kelly joins forces with fellow SEAL Karen Greer and shadowy CIA agent Robert Ritter, the mission unwittingly exposes a covert plot that threatens to engulf the U.S. and Russia in an all-out war.

Expanding the Jack Ryan universe created by author Tom Clancy seems to be a priority to Paramount and Without Remorse will allow them to give John Clark a string of his own films. When Michael B. Jordan was originally cast in the John Clark role he was attached for their Rainbow Six movie as well.

There is also a possibility we might eventually see Jordan’s Clark and John Krasinski’s Jack Ryan eventually cross paths.

Without Remorse will debut April 30th on Amazon’s Prime Video.

‘The Division’: ‘Red Notice’ Director Rawson Marshall Thurber Replaces David Leitch On Netflix Video Game Movie

Deadline has word that David Lietch has been replaced as director on Netflix’s feature film adaptation of the video game Tom Clancy’s The Division. They’ve pivoted to director Rawson Marshall Thurber, who recently wrapped the high-budgeted heist flick Red Notice that stars Dwayne Johnson, Gal Gadot, and Ryan Reynolds.

Marshall will co-write The Division’s script with Ellen Shanman.

The story is set in the near future with a virus spread via paper money on Black Friday, decimating the city of New York and killing millions. By Christmas, what’s left of society has descended into chaos. A group of civilians, trained to operate in catastrophic times, are activated in an attempt to save who and what remains.

Jessica Chastain and Jake Gyllenhaal are still set to star/produce the film.

Leitch is apparently too busy to tackle the film as he’s deep into production on Sony’s assassin flick Bullet Train starring Oscar-winner Brad Pitt. However, he’ll stay on as producer via 87North Productions.

It’s unknown when filming is going to start.

The Ubisoft video game has been reasonably successful with two installments released.

Paramount Selling Rights To Michael B. Jordan Action Flick ‘Without Remorse’ To Amazon – Crossover With ‘Jack Ryan’ Coming?

Yesterday, it was reported by Variety that Paramount Pictures is now in final negotiations with Amazon Studios to sell them the global rights to the Skydance Media action movie Without Remorse.

Based on the novel from Tom Clancy, it has a script penned by Taylor Sheridan (Sicario, Wind River). Stefano Sollima, who directed the feature adaptation previously worked with Amazon for the Prime Video series ZeroZeroZero.

Paramount had originally planned on releasing the Michael B. Jordan film on September 18th before moving it’s release to February 26th, 2021, after COVID-19 concerns but has instead decided to sell to Amazon instead and will drop on Amazon Prime.

Jordan plays Clark, a former U.S. Navy SEAL that is recruited into the C.I.A. as an operator. The character was previously played by Willem Dafoe in Clear & Present Danger and Liev Schreiber in The Sum of All Fears.

There is a good chance that Michael B. Jordan’s John Clark could eventually crossover with Amazon’s Jack Ryan series which is set in the same universe created by Tom Clancy. Jack and John have interacted on multiple times in the Jack Ryan novels, having Without Remorse at Amazon allows them some extra wiggle-room to have them cross paths in the future.

When Without Remorse will be released is currently unknown but since it was going to be ready for September there is a shot that it could be released on Amazon Prime before the end of the year.
