Rainbow Six Movie | Forums

[avoice217]

Well I started thinking last night about it. Actually I originally started thinking about the possibility of either a Ghost Recon or Rainbox Six game. I am in a clan for various games (neither GR or R6 being one of them), but I hit up my clan & asked for their thoughts, & some of them agreed that Rainbow Six was a more logical choice. Then I proceeded to ask which R6 game they liked the most out of the whole series & 1 suggested the original R6: Vegas. So now I am hitting you guys (& gals) up to get your opinion, thoughts, & what not on the possiblity of a Rainbow Six movie. I am a fellow gamer (if some of you are inquiring), so if there is any debate as to whether another movie based on a game (or book for that matter) should be created, I know what I would want in a movie based mostly on a game (since I would like to break the whole "movies based on games will never do the game justice or whatever you wish to call it" vibe. I really think that the reason for movies based on games failing is that the director &/or producer &/or writer doesnt get the feel for the game the way that the fans understand/feel the game & they need to learn to apart some method of bringing the element of the game to life on the big screen somehow to where the fans understand what the director/producer/writer is getting @ & the fan can say something along the lines of "now thats how you make a movie based on a game" or "i really like the movie based on this game because of..." kind of thing. (Sorry for the rant there). Anyways, please give me your feedback.

Ubi can't do a Rainbow Six movie. Clancy still owns the rights to that book and the movie that has been in the works for some 10 years now. it is to be based on the book (which is actually based on the game).

I am hoping for the best for the movie. Last I heard, John Woo is not directing it anymore, which gave me a lot of relief.

As long as it's based on the 'Rainbow Six' book, or even, 'The Bear and the Dragon', it would be great. Eco-terrorists are the worst kind

Hello Rage & WhiteKnight77,

I have been off the forums for the past couple of months. I just can't be bothered anymore with anything to do with UBI. I resurfaced today and found this posting, it still seems the legacy of Vegas has affected the younger gamers on here, i.e. not knowing what exists beyond the past 2-3 years and not knowing what R6 is really about. I am not vindicating the younger gamers on here, because I do know some of them have played all the R6 legacy games and liked them!

Generally I probably have been a bit harsh on here and a bit unforgiving with certain people. The reasons are the two different styles, flavours or themes people enjoy within their games (MIL TAC SIM v ARCADE SHOOTER). To get back to the main point, a R6 movie is in the making and the movie plotline is around the original book NOT VEGAS thank the gods...or Should I say SKY GODS


IGN:
According to industry insider mag Variety, Paramount has brought on Zack Snyder to write and direct the movie version of Tom Clancy's best-selling novel Rainbow Six. Snyder previously directed Universal's Dawn of the Dead remake.

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.

Interesting. I hope to see Mr. Snyder make an accurate adaption to the book.

well i am glad that someone is making a movie based on the rainbow six book, but i hope that they do a really good job. also to ground branch, i never said that i was gonna do a movie based on the vegas game, i was simply d/l the game so i could get a full idea of what ubisoft does w/ the game as well as w/ the characters, so that i could create a script to go along w/ the idea of counter-terrorism, thats all.

i think the reason movies based on games dont fit the bill is because ... there simply isnt enough time to explain it all.

im my eyes a movie jamm packed with action using extreme-1337 measures would kickass and i would never get enough , comeplete 1337 pwnage .

after all the game wouldnt be the same without the experts who pwn all and take names .

well, a good topic to discuss... we all know who appeared as John Clark and Ding Chavez in Clear and Present Danger.

Now, do you think these 2 same people should reprise their roles or who do you think should be the actors in this upcoming film?

I think Wilhem Dafoe can reprise John Clark, but for Ding Chavez, I believe Oded Fehr (co-star from The Mummy and Resident Evil) would be a good fit for the character.
