Sequels and prequels - And all that shit

[Arthur Dent]

In more Sequel news the new Jack Ryan movie, Sum of All Fears, is taking place during the first few months of Jack Ryan's job with the CIA which I'm not sure makes it a sequel or prequel.

I read Sum of All Fears. Actually, I've read all of Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan novels.

They have changed almost the ENTIRE story from the book.

1. Jack Ryan has been in the CIA for YEARS before this story.
2. The enemy is ISLAMIC terrorists in the book. In the movie it's Neo-Nazi's ?!?!?
3. Who the hell is Morgan Freeman playing? James Earl Jones' character is dead so it can't be him. And in the book, Jack Ryan is the Deputy Director of the CIA!! He doesn't need anyone holding his hand through an asignment.

The book was amazing with some incredible plot twists and shocking ending. From what I've seen, they've totaly gutted this story and tried to re-write it as if the Harrison Ford movies and Red October NEVER HAPPENED.

This is Hollywood bullshit that really pisses me off.
