Welcome to the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) list for the
alt.fan.tom-clancy and alt.books.tom-clancy newsgroups.  These
newsgroups are for discussions of books written by Tom Clancy,
movies made from books written by Tom Clancy, and Tom Clancy
himself.

The FAQ is posted in three parts; Introduction, Books, and Movies.  See
the Introduction posting for the full contents.  This part contains the
Movies chapter.  This is material pertaining to movies made from Tom
Clancy's books.

Questions
   
   1. I've seen all of the movies and read the books.  In the movies,
      Patriot Games comes after The Hunt for Red October.  But the
      books seem to imply that Patriot Games comes *before* The Hunt
      for Red October.  I'm confused.  What's going on?
      
      In the books chapter, the order of publishing and the story
      timeline are discussed.  The order of the release of the movies
      adds a third dimension to the mix-up.
      
      Books Published       Book timeline          Movie timeline
      ---------------       -------------          --------------
      Hunt for Red Oct.     Patriot Games          Hunt for Red Oct.
      Patriot Games         Hunt for Red October   Patriot Games
      Clear & Pres. Dngr.   Clear & Pres. Dngr.    Clear & Pres. Dngr.
      
      There has been no comment from the movie folks as to why they
      altered the book timeline.  The most likely guess is that since
      Patriot Games was released after The Hunt for Red October, the
      producers felt that changing the timeline for the movie(s) would
      produce less confusion for the movie going public.  An additional
      consideration could be that Harrison Ford as Jack Ryan in Patriot
      Games appears older than Alec Baldwin as Jack Ryan in The Hunt for
      Red October.  So placing Patriot Games' timeline *after* The Hunt
      for Red October made more sense for the movie.  On the other hand,
      with Hollywood, who knows?
   
   
   2. Why does Harrison Ford play Jack Ryan in Patriot Games and Clear
      and Present Danger when Alec Baldwin did so well in The Hunt for
      Red October?
      
      The Hunt for Red October was filmed and released first.  It was a
      single movie deal.  After its success Hollywood wanted to make
      more.  By the time that the movies were being cast, Alec Baldwin
      already had several other contractual engagements.  He was
      starring in a Broadway play when shooting was to start.  He
      reportedly wanted to be in Patriot Games but couldn't move his
      schedule around.  So Harrison Ford was selected as an as close as
      possible replacement.  Of course, we can speculate that Hollywood
      also wanted a big name star in the lineup as well.  By Hollywood
      logic, Sean Connery was probably more important as a big name draw
      for The Hunt for Red October than as an actor in it.
      
      The Patriot Games / Clear and Present Danger movie deal was
      reportedly a three movie contract.  But I have no definitive word
      about that.  Read Variety.
   
   
   3. Why does Hollywood mess up Clancy's stories?
      Why do they have to rewrite them?
      
      There are several reasons.
      
      First and foremost.  Trying to fit one of Tom Clancy's wide
      ranging and detailed stories into a 2 hour movie is a nearly
      impossible undertaking.  Anything but the main plot is subject to
      axing.  Things in the main plot that won't film well or easily
      also get axed or altered.  Hollywood has discovered that people
      will not sit through movies of much greater duration than 2 to 2
      1/2 hours.  So they won't come.  Movie theaters, that Hollywood
      depends on, absolutely hate intermissions.  They are dead time
      where the theater makes some money from concessions, but not much.
      Four intermissions in one day can add up to an additional showing
      of the film, and consequently, more money.
      
      Second.  Hollywood isn't in the business of charitably bringing
      authors' works to the screen.  They're in it for the money.
      Hollywood has found that certain formulae generate more viewers,
      and thus, more money.  Add these formulae to a movie and n% more
      money flows into the coffers.  If an authors' story doesn't have
      these formulae, they're added.
      
      Third, that's Hollywood!
   
   
   4. In the Jack Ryan entry in the Characters section in The Books
      chapter it doesn't show Ryan attending Annapolis.  I distinctly
      remember the Admiral in The Hunt for Red October implying that
      Jack Ryan graduated from the Academy.  Where did Jack Ryan go to
      college?
      
      Hollywood strikes again!  In the book storyline, Jack Ryan
      attended Boston College and Georgetown University.  The movie
      changed this when Captain Davenport complains about Ryan wearing
      the uniform of a Naval Commander when he doesn't deserve it.
      Admiral Painter replies that Davenport should notice the ring Ryan
      is wearing.  He goes on to give an account of how Ryan completed
      his fourth Academy year from a hospital bed after a horrible
      helicopter crash.  This scene is *not* in the book.  It was added
      by Hollywood!
      
      If you're talking movie storyline, Ryan attended the US Naval
      Academy at Annapolis.  If you're talking book storyline, he
      didn't.
   
   
   5. I have heard that Tom Clancy is making Without Remorse into a
      movie and that Keanu Reeves will play John Clark.  Is this true?
      What's happening with the movie version of Without Remorse?
      
      There have been rumors, speculations, and guesses all over.  Some
      of them probably from various discussions in this newsgroup.
      There have also been various reports in the media about Without
      Remorse, The Movie.
      
      Tom Clancy has stated that he is the executive producer of the
      movie version of Without Remorse.  It is to be produced by Savoy
      Pictures.  No actor has been offered ANY part in the film.  Some
      informal discussions have occurred with several actors.  Anything
      you have seen, heard, or read in the media beyond this information
      is pure speculation.  There have been no announcements, because
      there is nothing to announce, as yet.
      
      This as of: 30 Nov 1994.
      
      ---------------------------------------------------------------
      
      The Latest:
      
      Gary Sinise has been signed to play John Kelly (Clark).
      
      Principal Photography is scheduled to begin early January 1996.
      
      John McTiernan bowed out of direction and latest rumors have John
      Millius taking over.
   
   
   6. I read the book Op-Center and saw the mini-series.  The two
      didn't even have the same story line.  One was a conflict in
      Korea.  And the movie was about missing warheads in the Soviet
      Union.  (Russia).  What's going on?
      
      Tom Clancy on the origin of "Op-Center: "

      Clancy on the origin of Op Center.
      
      This is public information. Steve Pieczenik MD and I were at my
      home waiting for a friend to appear for a business meeting when I
      started talking about a moribund TV project I'd worked on mainly
      as a joke. Steve, it turned out, had a similar project behind him,
      and it turned out that his project and mine both had an element
      which the other lacked. So, we blended the ideas into what was
      actually his title "Op Center," and approached Brandon Tartikoff
      to work with us on it.
      
      The result will air in late February.

      -----------------------------------------------------------------
      
      The books are "spin-offs" from the TV mini-series.  Clancy and
      Peiczenik created the original idea, characters, and situations.
      The book manuscripts are written by other authors.

Plot Summaries
   
   The Hunt for Red October
      
      When CIA analyst Jack Ryan is unable to identify the purpose of
      some doors appearing on the newest Soviet Typhoon class ballistic
      missile nuclear submarine, named the Red October, he heads to
      Washington DC to find help.  In the meantime, the Red October,
      under the command of Captain Marko Ramius, puts to sea on its
      maiden voyage.  It is immediately detected, and tracked by the USS
      Dallas, a US Los Angeles class fast attack nuclear submarine,
      commanded by Captain Bart Mancuso.  When the Red October
      disappears from the Dallas' tracking systems, right in front it,
      the ripples of tension and alarm start spreading around the world.
      The captain of the Red October has mailed a mysterious letter to
      Admiral Yuri Padorin, Chairman of the Red Fleet Northern Political
      Directorate.  The Hunt for Red October is on as US and Soviet
      forces race each other to see who can find the Red October first,
      with Jack Ryan caught in the middle.
   
   
   Patriot Games
      
      Jack Ryan is retired from the CIA.  He teaches history at the U.S.
      Naval Academy at Annapolis, Md.  When he is invited to give a
      speech at the British Royal Naval Academy in London, his wife and
      daughter go along to make it a vacation.  After his speech, Ryan
      walks to meet his family at a London park.  As he joins them,
      members of the Ulster Liberation Army, an ultra-violent offshoot
      of the IRA, headed by Kevin O'Donnell, attack a car containing
      members of the Royal Family right in front of Ryan and his wife
      and daughter.  Jack intervenes in the attack and foils their plan,
      killing two and capturing one of them.  One of the two killed is
      the younger brother of Sean Miller, the man he captured.  Miller
      vows revenge on Ryan and his family.  But since he is going to
      Albany Prison on the Isle of Wight, the worst prison in Britain,
      the threat doesn't seem serious.  In the meantime, the IRA, upset
      with O'Donnell's attack on the Royals, tries to kill him.  The IRA
      and the ULA both claim to be motivated by patriotism, but they are
      fighting each other and the British are hunting both.  Ryan
      returns to the US and the Academy and his adventure seems like a
      distant dream.  But when O'Donnell and the ULA rescue Miller on
      his way to Albany Prison, the dream turns into a nightmare.
      Admiral Greer comes to Ryan and asks him to return to the CIA to
      help track down the terrorists.  Greer wants Ryan back in the CIA.
      He too is motivated by patriotism and wants his best man back.  As
      the tension mounts, Jack may have to re-join the CIA just to
      protect his wife and daughter.  It is a race to find the ULA
      terrorists before Sean Miller and the ULA can attack him and his
      family.  To Ryan, it's a matter of protecting his loved ones,
      while everyone around him is playing Patriot Games.
   
   
   Clear and Present Danger
      
      When a US Coast Guard Cutter stops and boards a yacht in the
      Caribbean, they discover that the owner and his family have been
      murdered.  CIA Analyst Jack Ryan is assigned to find out what it
      was all about.  When Ryan briefs the president on the facts of the
      murders, the president is upset.  The murdered man was a personal
      friend of the president for many years.  The president authorizes
      Operation Reciprocity, in a roundabout fashion, through Admiral
      Cutter, the National Security Advisor, by stating that the Cali
      Cartel is a Clear and Present Danger to the National Security of
      the United States.  Reciprocity turns out to be a covert attack on
      the production facilities of the Cali Cartel.  In the meantime,
      Admiral James Greer, Deputy Director of Intelligence, has become
      ill and enters the hospital.  Ryan is appointed Acting Deputy
      Director of Intelligence until Greer recovers.  He is the one who
      must brief the Congressional Oversight Committee on Reciprocity to
      get the money for it.  Cutter and Robert Ritter decide not to tell
      Ryan what Reciprocity really is, claiming that it is aid to the
      Colombian government for their fight against the Cartel.  Ryan
      briefs the committee and assures them that no US troops are
      involved.  The money is granted.  A small team of US Special
      Operations troopers are inserted into Colombia and Reciprocity
      begins.  Ryan continues his investigation of the yacht murders and
      uncovers startling information.  As a consequence, Ryan in is
      Bogota when the Cartel retaliates for the attacks.  As each side
      escalates the undeclared and secret war, Jack Ryan is beginning to
      understand that he has been tricked into lying to Congress.  The
      international situation heats up as Jack tries to discover what is
      really going on.  As he gets closer and closer to the truth,
      Cutter and Ritter start covering up and shifting the operation.
      If Ryan finally discovers the truth, will he even be able to
      reveal it?  And at what cost?
