Rainbow Six, which has spawned a popular series of videogames, centers around shadowy CIA agent John Clark. In the novel, Clark and several colleagues leave the CIA to create an England-based multinational organization designed to fight terrorism.

John Woo had been attached to the project, but he's since dropped out. Previous writers have included Michael Shiffer, Bill Wisher, Art Monterastelli, Frank Capello and John Enbom.

In addition to Rainbow Six, Paramount is developing another Clancy-based film that centers on Clark's character, Without Remorse. Not to mention the adaptation of Clancy's Splinter Cell videogame, and the next installment in the Jack Ryan series Red Rabbit.

Zack Snyder is also attached to a film adaptation of Frank Miller's graphic novel, 300.

Rainbow Six, Without Remorse, Spinter Cell????

MOVIES WILL BE SMOKIN!
