Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six has made it from a successful novel, to a string of successful videogames across consoles, now to the movie screen.
The story seems set to follow roughly that of the original novel, and not that of the videogame franchise – thank the lord, no Boll or Anderson in sight – and will focus on the creation of the elite multinational team based in England (which means filming will be anywhere but there, thanks to the Chancellor). Coming soon bring the news from Variety:
Paramount has tapped Zack Snyder to write and direct its adaptation of Tom Clancy’s “Rainbow Six,” centered on Clancy’s shadowy John Clark CIA agent character.
Zack Snyder brought us the remake Dawn of the Dead and is currently at work Directing that which he wrote the screenplay for, 300, adapted from Frank Millers’ novel of, as per IMDB,…
…the fabled Battle of Thermopylae, where the King of Sparta led his army against the advancing Persians.
Certainly sounds like an interesting Director\Screenwriter for the job, and if they do stick around the novel we’ll be in for an action packed movie tied firmly to reality. Let’s hope so anyway.
