The action-packed adaptation has seen its ups and downs in development since the early ‘90s and reached its peak when Covid-19 forced Paramount to cancel the theatrical plans, allowing Amazon Prime to acquire distribution rights with plans to release the film digitally in February 2021.
Following Willem Dafoe in Clear and Present Danger and Liev Schreiber in The Sum of All Fears, Michael B. Jordan will be the third actor to play John Clark, a Navy SEAL who exists in the same universe as CIA agent Jack Ryan, in Tom Clancy’s Without Remorse.
Based on the celebrated late author’s 1993 bestseller from a screenplay by Academy Award nominee Taylor Sheridan, the film follows a vengeful Clark, hellbent on avenging the brutal murder of his wife, but finds himself embroiled in a much larger and more sinister conspiracy in the process.
