“I never played a character like this before,” Jordan told Reuters.
“Being able to jump into the Tom Clancy world and universe and be able to take a familiar character like John Kelly and give it a reboot, give it a fresh take, I was really interested and excited about it, being able to kind of do my own stunts and play a character that really didn’t have any limitations.”
A big screen adaptation of the novel had been in development since the 1990s, with several actors and filmmakers attached to the project over the years until Jordan, who also produced the movie, and Italian “Gomorrah” and “Romanzo Criminale” director Stefano Sollima, took it on. “Sometimes you need fresh eyes to look at something,” said Jordan. “Stefano and the rest of the producers, we came together and we tried to bring a fresh take to it and make it as modern as we could and still keep that excitement.”“I don’t think we’ve seen a film based on a Tom Clancy novel that has two Black leads, a very multicultural cast. So that, I think is a major difference,” said actress Jodie Turner-Smith, who plays former Navy SEAL Karen Greer.
“The armed forces… are beginning to expand and there are women in these roles. And while there’s no female Navy SEALs, I think we wanted to reflect what’s happening in the world and how these things are changing and are pushing forwards.”“Tom Clancy’s Without Remorse,” which also stars Jamie Bell and Guy Pearce, is released on Amazon Prime Video on Friday.
