Film, Television, or Theatrical Adaptations
Paramount Pictures bought the film rights to Without Remorse soon after the novel was released. There were several attempts to start work on the film, but it was always dropped soon after, along with attempts to adapt Clancy's hit novel Rainbow Six into a film. Without Remorse is currently in development with no release date set. According to Deadline, Paramount is courting Tom Hardy into playing the lead role of John Kelly. Christopher McQuarrie is in talks to direct as well as co-write the screenplay with Shawn Ryan and Stuart Beattie. Actor Kevin Costner is also rumored to portray William Harper.

Famous quotes containing the word theatrical:
“A Man who always acts in the Severity of Wisdom, or the Haughtiness of Quality, seems to move in a personated Part: It looks too Constrained and Theatrical for a Man to be always in that Character which distinguishes him from others.”
—Richard Steele (1672–1729)
