It will probably suck ass.
We all have an idea of what Clark is suppose to look like, Hollywood will never live up to our expectations. I will just re-read the book. |

I wonder if they will change the bad guys so as not to offend anyone like in Sum of all fears.

John Clark. Navy Seal, Recently released. Wife gets killed. Awhile later he gets a girlfriend doper tries to help her clean up. Falls in love with her and she is killed by the pimps/dealers. Clark takes revenge and covertly kills scores of the dealers/pimps that were involved. CIA fakes his death and recruits him. Between and during all of this he also is contracted to recon and lead missions into Vietnam on a massive POW rescue mission. ETA: Thats really a pathetic description but I think I got it within reason. Its a GREAT book. |

The only way the movie would be any good is if it was rated XXX, and would have to be a mini-series. Without Remorse is my favorite book I hope they don't fvck it up.

Yup. Kelly was like 27 or 28. If they get someone over 40 to play the part, they will surely fuck the movie up. That counts out Adam Baldwin, he isn't a great actor anyway. Thomas Jane is pushing it... besides, he already played a vengeful character in The Punisher. Christian Bale is the best KNOWN actor for the job. They need to find an unknown with a lot of skill to play Kelly. Cole Hauser is a possibility.  Brian Van Holt is another, they have a way of making him look a lot younger in movies.  Johnny Messner (Tears Of The Sun)  There are a lot of small-time actors that could play the part. Their acting ability has to be pretty good to pull it off, though. Hollywood will probably cast Vin Diesel and fuck the whole thing up right from the start. |

As much as I defend muslims on here from the "kill 'em all" types, I was very angry with the changes made to Sum of All fears. What a shit movie. They better not fuck up Without Remorse - it's my fav. tom clancy book. |

Adam Baldwin could be very good. He was excellent in Serenity/Firefly, The Patriot, and Full Metal Jacket. No relation to the other Baldwins. |

I at one point heard they were doing "Point of Impact" several years ago and have not been able to find anything on it, On a side note , anyone ever turn on the directors commentary on the DVD of "The (semi) Sum Of All Fears?" They have Tom Clancy doing it and he tears the movie up. He opens with...... " Hello, I am Tom Clancy and I wrote the book they chose to ignore when they made this movie  Its all down hill from there and it almost makes it worth watching

He couldn't act in that movie either. The cheesy southern drawl completely killed the character for me. |

yeah, he did play kind of dopey. I'll give you that one. Bale and Jane would do well for what I picture Clark to look like. |

I think using either of those two actors, while I agree they would fit, would make the movie too hollywood right off the bat. A lesser known actor adds the darker side to the story that is needed for the movie to work. |

My top 3 votes:
- Jason Lewis (Smith Jerrod from Sex and the City). - Christian Bale - Cole Hauser Maybe's - Ben Bowder - Scott Caan - Joaquin Phoenix - Ryan Reynolds Liev Schreiber was ok. Liked him in Sum of All Fears, but he didn't have that ex_navy SEAL look about him. Definitely NOT Collin Farrell!! And God forbid they let some PC faggot Hollywood director do it... Clark will end up being black or female or both. |

+1 on Johnyy Messner. I don't know anything about him but he looks the way my mind pictured Clark in the book. I've read it many times. As long as they stick to the book it would be worth doing. |

Clark needs to be fairly inconspicuous. Joe Average looking. I suppose Tom Jane goes out the window as a result. Christian Bale IMHO still fits the bill- he's quirky looking, not a pretty boy.
Brian van Holt was a guy I had considered too- he's played military guys very well in other stuff (he was in BHD and played an ex-Marine in Threshold)... |

Also played a Ranger in "Basic", a soldier in "Windtalkers", and a SWAT officer in the God-awful hackjob "SWAT". He fits the military look. I like Christian Bale, but I don't know if he could pull off a former SEAL... |

Johnny Messner would be PERFECT. He's got the youth, the dark, dangerous look, and he sure as hell knows how to play a badass military man in the jungle. He was awesome in Tears of the Sun. |

No, but he tortures a guy is a decompression chamber. That would be an oscar winning scene if done right in the movie. |
