Paramount Pictures, for some years now, has been betting on productions based on novels by Tom Clancy. While it is true that video games have been the medium that has benefited the most from these stories, the production company intends to make the most of them on the big screen. For this reason, in the past they gave the green light to a film of Rainbow Six. Now, however, they have found their director, one of the most renowned in contemporary action cinema.
According to The Hollywood Reporterit is the very Chad Stahelskiwhom you surely place for being responsible for the trilogy of john wick. It is well known that the saga starring Keanu Reeves has established itself as one of the most representative of action cinema. Thus, the American filmmaker will also be in charge of directing the film adaptation of Rainbow Six.
Today, Chad Stahelski is one of the most sought after directors in Hollywood. Beyond the feature film Rainbow Six and the next trilogy of john wickthe filmmaker is also committed to Sony Pictures to make the film of Ghost of Tsushima, based on the hit PlayStation video game. In mid-2022, he promised that he will respect the Japanese language of the original work, a decision that was applauded by fans.
The cited media outlet mentions that the film by Rainbow Six It will be produced by Elizabeth Raposo, Akiva Goldsman, Greg Lessans, Josh Appelbaum and Andre Nemec. Executive production is led by Chad Stahelski, Jason Spitz and Alex Young.
Also, Michael B. Jordan will be the protagonist of Rainbow Six. Let’s remember that the popular actor is already part of the universe of productions based on the work of Tom Clancy, because in 2021 he gave life to John Clark in No regrets. The reception of him, yes, generated a division of opinions. Overall, it was a movie that failed to transcend as expected.
The foregoing, however, has not stopped Paramount’s aspirations to continue exploring the narratives raised by the American writer. His insistence is based, perhaps, on the success of jack ryan. The Amazon series with John Krasinski, unlike No regrets, did manage to attract public interest. can Rainbow Six achieve that same popularity? We’ll see…
Certainly, the signing of Chad Stahelski increases the anticipation for Rainbow Six; especially for the great work he has done in the saga john wick. Of course, it also adds points to have a cast headed by Michael B. Jordan, who will reprise the role of the aforementioned CIA agent John Clark. Of course, it does not lose interest to know who will be the actors that will make up the rest of the cast.
Another issue that remains pending is its availability. No regrets It came to Amazon Prime Video because, at that time, theaters were totally hit by the pandemic. Now, however, the picture is different. THR say what Paramount is still studying the idea of releasing Rainbow Six via streaming —probably on Paramount+—. The source notes that the final decision will be made during the production process.
