Tom Clancy movies
Christopher Adams
Does anyone know anything about the next Tom Clancy book-turned-movie?
What book is it? Who's signed for the roles of Clark and Ryan (Harrison
Ford, please!)?

I think you are NUTS!
Harrison Ford is and will always be the WORST Jack Ryan. Alec Baldwin is
SOOOOO much better.

I heard that the next movie will be Without Remorse.

I don't really want to get this thread going again but I can't resist
dropping my 2 cents worth. I think Ford is perfect for Ryan but Clark
has always been my favorite and therefore the hardest to cast (for
me). I have come to an earth shattering conclusion:
David Keith
The tough, fair, honest, but, slightly edgy cop from TV's High
Incident. If you can drag yourself away from the facinating "Freinds"
give it a look :).
I think his muscular appearance and intense face would be perfect in
Without Remorse.
God I can't wait for that movie. I'm excited about COTK but WR is
gonna kick ass!

Yu-uk. Harrison Ford is a better actor - and also more appropriate in appearance.
What pisses me off is that they changed the casting for the role between movies...

Too late... Harrison Ford has a lock on the role in our minds. You Can't
read a Clancy book with Jack Ryan in it and not see Harrison Ford.

the best of the movies as far as sticking to the original plot.

Don't be so presumptuous as think you are speaking for everybody, Craig.
Alec Baldwin is and always will be the image of Jack Ryan that my mind's eye
holds. To whit: Patriot Games was broadcast on tv a couple of weeks ago,
while I was in the midst of reading EO. Not only did watching the film again
reinforce Baldwin as my image of Ryan, it also reinforced Harrison Ford
as my image of John Clark, even though Ford has never portrayed Clark.

I could swear that I saw an interview with Harrison Ford shortly after the
last movie went into the can and he stated flatly that he would NEVER work
on another Clancy movie because he (TC) was too protective of his material.
No loss!

Sorry, but neither looks at all like the Jack Ryan I conjured from the
books long before I saw the movies. Jack Ryan is far more bookish. You
wouldn't notice him at all until he started doing heroic things.
Unfortunately, "bookish" is not a common trait of big-box-office actors,
I wish they had picked an unknown.

I wholeheartedly agree. I couldn't decide which actor made the worse Ryan.
I frequently put faces to characters in books (I thought I was the only one
who did this), but I've never been able to picture Ryan.
For some reason, reading EO, I had trouble putting faces on several
characters. Ed Kealty imediately came to me as Lloyd Bridges, and Ding has
always been the Hispanic actor on NYPD Blue. Clark, of course, has always
been me (you mean you don't picture yourself in any of these books?), But
most of the main characters I didn't visualize. I guess I kinda saw the
Mountain Men as "Hi, I'm Larry, and this is my brother Daryl..." without
the other Daryl.
Who else comes to mind as faces applied to names. It doesn't have to be
actors, as some of my favorite characters in books are people I know in
real life.

I didn't like Baldwin in the role, I know he doesn't look like Jack
Ryan, but I always see Mr Clancy as shown in his pictures, as Jack
Ryan. Harrison Ford is good for the role though, I hope he sticks with
the part.
