Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit

[Rowsdower!]

Branagh is a great director but he can be an enormously campy actor. His Hamlet chews up scenery like a starving man.

His performance in Frankenstein is so hammy you could make you could serve it up for Easter dinner.

He was really good in Chamber of Secrets.

Lockhart is the ultimate ham.

Maybe he became a Russian billionaire after he lost his memory. t:

Interesting, I have tried more than once to watch The Hunt for Red October and never made it all the way though. Clear & Present Danger is my favourite so I'm wondering this means I'm more or less likely to like Shadow Recruit.

If that's the case then more likely.

 

[MrMaooz]

Oh, it's written by David Koepp? Expect controversy and a bad ending in the eyes of many.

Red October is my 2nd favorite movie. This post makes me cry single burly Russian tear.

Sorry, I never said I didn't lie it, just that I fell asleep each time.

If that's the case then more likely.

Cool, thanks for giving us a bit of knowledge on this one Liam.

This not game Whiskey!

Just like me and 2001: A Space Odyssey!

I swear it's like Boris and Natasha.

Branagh may have the funniest accent since Tim Curry's Romanian accent in Congo.

 

[Hunter Rider]

Just like me and 2001: A Space Odyssey!

You've inspired me to give The Hunt for Red October another try!

Ford says Clancy wasn't happy with Jack Ryan films

Acting veteran Harrison Ford had an uneasy relationship with late Patriot Games and Clear & Present Danger author Tom Clancy, because he didn't like the changes the actor and director of the films made to his stories.

The movie star admits Clancy, who passed away on Oct. 1, was a big influence and inspiration for his portrayal of Jack Ryan -- but the writer wasn't a fan of his.

Ford tells The Hollywood Reporter, "He was never terribly happy with (director) Philip Noyce and (producer) Mace Neufeld and me for making the necessary adjustments to turn the books into films so they would be a popular success."

Books and film are different mediums, just like comics and film are different mediums. Changes HAVE to be made. Some writers understand that and some don't.

And it's always subjective.

 

[dude stannis]

I think some of Clancy's stuff would've been better suited for mini series.

'Wolf Of Wall Street' Christmas Release Now Likely

Martin Scorsese's "The Wolf Of Wall Street" will now likely arrive in theaters on Christmas Day. That much, at least, according to an exclusive report from The Los Angeles Times, which offers much of the same information provided by Showbiz411's Roger Friedman in a story he first posted on Oct. 8.

Questions about the "Wolf Of Wall Street" release, however, date back to September. On Sept. 23, HitFix InContention editor Kris Tapley revealed that a "release date bump" for Scorsese's film was "looking very likely." In his piece, Tapley noted that the "sensible" play would be for Paramount, the studio behind Scorsese's latest, to shift the film from Nov. 15 to Christmas Day (a move that would push Paramount's new Jack Ryan film, which was set for a Christmas debut, into January of 2014).

One day later, on Sept. 24, The Hollywood Reporter offered some more specifics: If "Wolf Of Wall Street" landed on Dec. 25, "Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit" would bump to Jan. 17, 2014, the Martin Luther King holiday weekend.

As The Times notes in its report, "Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit" might not necessarily move at all; the paper suggests that Paramount will make an official announcement on "Wolf Of Wall Street" and "Jack Ryan" in the coming days. Through all of this, Paramount's website has maintained that "Wolf Of Wall Street" was coming on Nov. 15; "Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit," however, is merely listed as "Coming Soon." Paramount has two other December releases on its schedule: "Anchorman: The Legend Continues," on Dec. 20, and Jason Reitman's "Labor Day," on Dec. 25. ("Labor Day" is a limited release.)

Scorsese's film, about a corrupt banker in the '90s, stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Jonah Hill, Matthew McConaughey, Kyle Chandler, Margot Robbie and Cristin Milioti. It's expected to be a major player during awards season, something the Christmas Day release date will hardly diminish. Last year, "Les Miserables" and "Django Unchained" were both released on Dec. 25 and wound up scoring Best Picture nominations.

Thinking about it, maybe it's for the best because seriously, Christmas Day is OVERLY packed. While I'm against a Jan release, it may find it's audience there.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

If it is good, I just hope it makes enough for a sequel. All I am looking for here if it is strong.

They should save it for March. There's not much there and the Tom Clancy-ish Olympus Has Fallen owned it last March.

 

[Octoberist]

March would be ideal..

 

[DarthSkywalker]

That is a long time to wait for my Keira fix. Especially with "Can A Song Save Yoyr Life?" not coming out until early next year as well. But if it will help, I guess it would be for the best.

 

[Loki882]

Hunger Games owned March a couple of years ago to. Big films usually start coming out in May, so releasing the film in March makes it likely that it won't face major competition.
