The always dependable Cinescape has received word that a big-time action director is circling the next Tom Clancy book turned film, Rainbow Six.
According to a scooper, John Woo [Paycheck] has been developing the film for about a year now. A script is complete but the director hasn't made an announcement that he wants to do it as his next feature. The last we heard, Woo will be directing the pilot for a new LOST IN SPACE TV series later this spring, says the site.
In a recent interview with The Calgary Sun Woo confirms it : "I have also agreed to develop Tom Clancy's novel The Rainbow Six for Paramount. It's about six guys from different countries who get together as a team. It reminds me of The Dirty Dozen and The Magnificent Seven."
For those unaware, Rainbox Six centres on the character of John Clark, not Jack Ryan. In a previous interview with Moviehole, Author Tom Clancy announced who hed like to see in the role : Tom Selleck. Although admitting the studio and everyone in the audience would probably think Sellecks too old for the role now, hes a good choice said the author.
Heres a synopsis of the book from Amazon : John Clark. Appearing in The Cardinal of the Kremlin, Clear and Present Danger, and Without Remorse, Clark has many of Jack Ryan's most appealing traits, but he is also a darker figure embodying the more paranoid sensibilities of the late '90s. As is made clear from the opening pages of Rainbow Six, ex-Navy SEAL Clark and his colleagues believe violent, deadly force to be the best deterrent for terrorism. Clark (a.k.a. Rainbow Six) has left the CIA to create an England-based organization code-named "Rainbow." Its mission: deploy an elite squad of American operatives combined with handpicked British, French, and German agents to stop terrorism in its tracks. Rainbow's emergence could not be more timely: in quick succession, the force diffuses three attempted terrorist actions. But Clark becomes suspicious when Russian agents suddenly show interest in Rainbow's work. Rainbow Six appeals on all the levels that Clancy fans could hope for. The Rainbow operatives, from Navy SEALs to German mountain-leader school graduates, are rendered to inspire with their physical and mental prowess. The book is infatuated with the latest gadgets for scrambling, transmitting, and decoding secrets. And, in a carefully woven narrative that simultaneously traces the Rainbow team, a former KGB agent named Popov, the Australian Olympic security team, and a sinister group of American scientists, Clancy artfully reveals the mystery of "Shiva" at the center of the novel. How does Clark measure up against Jack Ryan? He may be the perfect hero for a world with hidden villains.
by the way, I'm retarded.
