Without Remorse

💡 Did You Know?

The film adaptation of Tom Clancy's 1993 novel 'Without Remorse' had been in development since the 1990s when John McTiernan was attached to direct, Christine Roum writing the screenplay, and Brandon Tartikoff set to produce long before his death in 1997. In 1994, Keanu Reeves was offered $7 million for the role of John Clark but turned it down. In 1995, the film, which was set to be written and directed by John Milius and would star Laurence Fishburne and Gary Sinise, was two weeks away from shooting, before it was shut down, due to the financial collapse of Savoy Pictures. In 2012, Christopher McQuarrie signed on with Paramount Pictures to direct the film, with Tom Hardy in talks to play John Clark and Kevin Costner in talks to play his mentor, William Harper. In September 2018, it was announced that Michael B. Jordan would be playing John Clark in a two-part film series, which will be composed of 'Without Remorse' and 'Rainbow Six'. Director Stefano Sollima was announced in December 2018 and filming began in Berlin in October 2019.
