John Woo is a specialist in action movies: You like his style or you dont. Anyway, the release date is in 2006, we got some time ahead !

Franky, other then Hunt for Red October I've always been bored of the Tom Clancy movies.



Having John Woo involved is interesting I have to say.

The Hunt for Red October was good, Patriot Games was OK, Clear and Present Danger was good, Sum of All Fears is one of the worst movies I've ever seen.

I'd look forward to it more if it weren't being directed by John Woo. I'm yet to see one of his movies that I've liked.

Perhaps this movie will do well, and we will see the Clancy write R6 2!

What'd you have against the book? My opinion, the only two that are better are Without Remorse and Clear & Present Danger.

OMFG... Typhy is so right...  you want action directed well? Get frankenheimer )he's dead tho)  or Micheal Mann (have you seen his action scenes? HEAT comes to mind easily )  How about David fincher (fighT Club)



there are so many possiblilities.... Woo is a hack... he's never made anything good in English... all his films that are even remotely watchable are hong kong action flicks... this is gonna blow... do I need to remind everyone of Capt. Correlli's Mandolin?? WTF is with you Woo lovers?? UGH! Get a life... better yet steal someone elses!

I just think the book read like a bad summer blockbuster(which, I guess they are making it into). The plot wasn't plausible enough to sustain any sort of suspense, and I dont think I connected with the characters as well as I did in his other books. The only good part of the book is how jack ryan is president, which is quite cool.


now i cant remember ryan really is pres is rainbow six. i know he is in the bear and the dragon(which is one of my favorites) but i cant remember about r6

     Nah, R6 sucked nuts. The only thing I liked about it was the descriptions of the training and operations (I read it after I'd already been playing RS for a year or two). The plot, the characters, and all the other 2D stuff about the book can blow me.

I thought Face/Off was good.  But that was a while ago, the genre has changed.

I agree with you, not only is Michael Mann one of the best action directors out there, he's one of the best directors (period)...which is why he'd probably NEVER be involved in a Tom Clancy movie.

Fincher is cool as well, Alien3 (the best Alien movie IMHO).....Seven and Fight Club are not only top-notch action, but he sets unparrelled moods...

Once again, not exactly up the TC alley.

Hey guys,

Your friendly Hollywood insider here. I just checked my magical Hollywood info website and here's what it says (and what is has said since 2002, btw -- only Woo is new).

The entry was created Aug 2000, last updated Jun 2004.

So they're still working on this sucker.

At least five writers have worked on it. I will not name them.

The producer is Michael Ovitz, which might suggest to you why this movie has taken so long to get going.

John Woo is the director.

People who have been mentioned for roles are Matt Damon as John Clark or William DaFoe as John Clark.

Paramount is the studio, The Firm and Artist's Production Group are producing.

Here's the logline: it sounds different to me than what I remember the book being ...

"Ex-Navy SEAL John Clark leads an elite squad of American and European operatives to fight international terrorism. Code-named "Rainbow," the force defuses three terrorist attempts before old Cold War adversaries raise their suspicions."
Logged
"Perhaps, the most important thing to remember about that which we are faced with: Fascism, at its core, is a fraud. It promises the triumphal resurrection of the nation, and delivers only devastation. Strength without wisdom is a chimera, resolve without competence a travesty."
