Quote:The end of the cold war really fucked up the techno-thriller genre.
That's one of the reasons they didn't make Cardinal of the Kremlin. That's the one Ford wanted to do. Studio decided they wanted to "re-invent" the Jack Ryan series. In other words, they butchered the book so they could pretend the other movies don't exist. And they changed the arab terrorists to neo-nazis. Not holding out hope for this one.
Would have been tough to do it true to the book when a one of the major story lines had to do with the ending of Clear and Present Danger which was changed when they made the movie. The ending of the movie of C&PD made half of SoAF impossible to do and be consistent in the story.
