I didn't know they are planning to make a movie on this...until I read this on IGN

Hardy would have the same problem as Dafoe in that he is not really John Kelly/Clark size...but otherwise he is probably a good person for the role. But seeing them already are adding random character, the movie will probably be butchered like the Sum of all Fear....

Well, the true mentor is Admiral Greer... but that role is James Earl Jones. So having someone else fit that "role" is ok.

What I'm concerned about is when it will take place? Ret-con it to Iraq I or II instead of Vietnam?

Hardy's not a bad choice, he just happens to be the flavor of the month. Overall, there aren't a lot of 6'+ actors that don't come from WWE. Chris or Liam Hemsworth might be a better physical match, though. Depending on how far they want to stretch the age, David Borneaz would fit the bill.

After The Sum of all Fears I have zero faith in any Clancy-based movie.

The Sum of all Fear is just terrible, considering it was one of his best book they just completely threw the book out and made that....:screwy:

Global political correctness.

Bumping thread because I saw this is scheduled for release in October.

Hope is kinda restored, seeing how the screenplay is written by Taylor Sheridan - Yellowstone, Hell or High Water, Wind River, Sicario.

Michael B Jordan is on my list of terrible one-note actors that for some reason Hollywood really, really wants to be successful.

Is that kinda like Noomi Rapace?

Yes! She's on the list. Also, off the top of my head:

-Joel Kinneman
-Bri Larson
-Elizabeth Moss
-Ryan Gosling
-Bunch of others...

It worked for Jason Statham. :laugh:

That’s different. Statham knows his place; cheesy, fun, frenetic action movies with very little plot that are most enjoyed on the other side of the sobriety spectrum. The people on my list all think that they’re serious *AKT-TORZZZ*.
