Tango down! Rainbow Six coming to the big screen . . .

[Viper GTS]

Without Remorse would make a GREAT movie, I've always said I hoped they'd do it.

I dunno about Rainbow Six, it just wasn't that good.

Oh, and it definitely needs to be Dafoe.

Viper GTS

Agreed.

Think they'll add the part about too much C-4 on the back of the bank door ;P

Me, too.
Clark/Kelly is a big man, very powerful. Dafoe is not.

They need someone like a younger version of Tom Berenger to play Clark.

Not only did "Red Rabbit" suck, it had the most f***ed up geography ever put in a book - makes you wonder if Clancy ever opened a world atlas. Let's face it, Clancy's books have become propaganda a long time ago, and they're less and less readable. Can anyone seriously compare "The Bear and the Dragon", or "Red Rabbit", or the last one (I forgot the name) with "Red Storm" or "Hunt for Red October"? I mean, seriously, I'm not expecting a Nobel prize for literature here, but his recent prose was really "Left Behind"-level... I mean, he's becoming the Sandra Brown of political fiction.

Oh, and for the record, the "Sum of All Fears" movie was really bad. Bad acting, bad conception, bad directing, stupid plot changes... yuck!

I agree on all counts. I don't believe that Tom Clancy is even writing his own books anymore, because they are just crappy in every respect.

In "Red Rabbit" it bugged the fsck out of me how Ryan kept talking about his investment in Starbucks and what a son-of-a-bitch his father-in-law was. It seriously brought up those things like three times each in the book. Like he had forgotten that he had already mentioned it two chapters ago.

Bleh.

They better do Without Remorse well, that book was awesome and the movie could be great.

I actually liked that movie.

I enjoyed both books, but the movies could get fscked over so badly by Hollywood it's not funny. They'll probably try and downgrade them to PG-13 for wider audience appeal, have guest appearances by the Backstreet Boys since they're huge Clancy fans, and the perpetrator of the various nefarious plots will turn out to be Old Man Withers who runs the amusement park.

Cool. Both books were awesome!!!
