Jamie Bell Is Set to Join Michael B. Jordan in Film Adaptation of WITHOUT REMORSE

Actor Jamie Bell, star of Billy Elliot and Rocketman, is in final negotiations to join the cast of the film Without Remorse, based on the novel by Tom Clancy. Michael B. Jordan (Creed, Black Panther) is already set to star in the adaptation, with Stefano Sollima reteaming with his Sicario: Day of the Soldado screenwriter Taylor Sheridan. Variety reports the following character descriptions for the two leading men:

Jordan is starring as operations officer John Clark, also known as John Terrence Kelly, a former Navy SEAL who goes to work for the CIA.

Bell will play Robert Ritter, the deputy director of operations at the CIA who was a major character in the Clancy universe and helped recruit Kelly into the CIA. Ritter has a presence in several Clancy novels including “Clear and Present Danger,” which was also adapted into a movie by Paramount.

The report states that Paramount plans to build a franchise around Jordan’s portrayal of the character John Clark. This is pretty exciting, as these stories from Tom Clancy always translate well to the big screen, and I like both of these actors a lot.

Without Remorse is set to hit theaters on September 18, 2020. Are you into it?
