Paramount has picked "Dawn of the Dead" helmer Zack Snyder to write and direct its adaptation of Tom Clancy's "Rainbow Six," centered on Clancy's shadowy John Clark CIA agent character reports Variety.
The story centers on Clark joining with several colleagues to leave the CIA and create an England-based multinational org designed to battle terrorism. "Rainbow Six" were picked up by the studio six years ago and John Woo was previously attached to direct.
The studio has adapted four of Tom Clancy's books already and is also in development of both "Red Rabbit" and "Without Remorse," the latter utilsing the Clark character in "Rainbow". Peter Berg ("Friday Night Lights") is attached to direct a film version of Clancy's videogame "Splinter Cell." Clark has been portrayed on-screen twice before by actors Willem Dafoe and Liev Schrieber.
Thanks to 'Wilkes'
