Taylor Sheridan Made Huge Changes to Tom Clancy's Action Thriller, but That's a Good Thing

Although he is best known for creating the Jack Ryancharacter and series, Tom Clancywrote several other espionage and military action novels centered around other characters in the “Ryanverse.” Among the most popular heroes that he came up with is John Kelly, a former Navy SEAL that became a C.I.A. agent and went on several dangerous missions around the globe, eventually taking on the identity “Clark.” While Willem Dafoe first portrayed Clark in the Jack Ryan film The Hunt For Red October, Michael B. Jordanwas cast as a new version of the character in the origin story Without Remorse, which Taylor Sheridanadapted from Clancy’s novel of the same name. While it is certainly one of the most ruthless revenge thrillers in years, Without Remorse makes more than a few key changes from the source material.
