After the biographical authorized drama Just Mercy, actor Michael B Jordan is returning to his tried-and-tested motion house along with his subsequent movie, Without Remorse. He produces and stars within the movie that’s scheduled to premiere on Amazon Prime Video at this time.
Directed by Stefano Sollima, Without Remorse relies on the 1993 novel of the identical title by Tom Clancy and is a spin-off of the Jack Ryan movie collection. Like many in his technology, Jordan’s introduction to the Jack Ryan universe got here primarily by way of the favored Rainbow Six video video games. The video games give attention to a global counter-terrorism unit run by a former Navy SEAL named John Clark.
“I grew up playing those games. They are set in the world of John Clark, and you control his elite team through different missions. I thought they were super dope!” says Jordan.
Decades later, whereas looking for properties to develop by way of his manufacturing firm Outlier Society, Jordan and his producing accomplice Alana Mayo have been thrilled to find that Without Remorse was out there to adapt at Paramount Pictures.
“They had a lot of interesting titles in their library, but when I saw that John Clark’s origin story was included in there, I really wanted to develop it and build out that world,” says Jordan.
About his character, Jordan says, “He’s got a big heart and he will do anything for his friends, and that’s how I feel as well. Once he sets his mind to something, he’s determined to work at whatever it is until he accomplishes his mission, which describes me too.”
Jordan describes Kelly as a person who initially believes within the army hierarchy. So a lot so, that he thinks of himself as an extension of his nation. But when he discovers his household is killed as a part of the conspiracy, this elite soldier finds himself ill-equipped to deal with it emotionally. “In his mind, he doesn’t have anything left to live for,” says the actor.
“Everything he cared about is gone, so it sends him down a very dark path. Unfortunately for the people who did this to him, they picked the wrong guy to mess with. He’s going to fill the empty hole within himself with as many bodies and as much chaos as he can. He’s hurt and heartbroken, so he throws himself into this wild mission in a very calculated way.”
Jordon provides that he loved working with award-winning filmmaker Stefano Sollima, identified for movies like Sicario: Day of the Soldado. “I loved Stefano’s Sicario sequel, so I felt like he was a great choice to direct this project. From the moment I met him, I could tell he knew exactly how to capture the intensity we were looking for,” Jordan says.
