Paramount Plans Film Adaptation of Without Remorse by Tom Clancy

Vulture is reporting that a film adaptation of Without Remorse by Tom Clancy is planned by Paramount. If completed, it would be the first non-Jack Ryan thriller by the author to be adapted and filmed (though there is a Jack Ryan connection). Shawn Ryan (The Shield) will write the screenplay.

Without Remorse features ex-SEAL John Kelly, now living in Baltimore as John Clark, whose girlfriend is murdered by a drug lord. Vowing revenge, he seeks his own form of justice, all the while keeping one step ahead of police detective Emmett Ryan -- Jack Ryan's father.
