LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Novice filmmaker Zack Snyder has been tapped to develop and direct the upcoming espionage thriller "Rainbow Six," based on the Tom Clancy novel, for Paramount Pictures.
The story centers on a CIA operative who leaves the agency to create a British-based antiterrorism squad.
Various writers have been attached to the project since it was brought into the studio in 1999, including Art Monterastelli, Frank Capello, John Enbom, Michael Shiffer and Bill Wisher.
Paramount has produced a string of Clancy titles, including "The Hunt for Red October," "Patriot Games," "Clear and Present Danger" and "The Sum of All Fears."
It also has acquired Clancy's "Red Rabbit."
Snyder made his feature directing debut with last year's horror picture "Dawn of the Dead." He also is attached to direct "300" for Warner Bros. Pictures.

Dawn of the Dead was well done, so this should be great!

I think he's a good choice for Rainbow Six. The way the characters were holding the guns in Dawn was very tactical. Snyder was also one of the special forces guarding the president in the opening montage. I think he knows a lot about the military, which is what we need for a Rainbow Six movie.

I don't even think the Jack Ryan character was directly in the book.

Anyhow - I like the choice for director. I think he did a good job w/ DotD last year.
I wonder if they will go w/ Liev to play Clark again?
And who will they get to play Chavez? It better not be Wilmer Valderrama!

And if Snyder screws it up, not much of a loss. I'm not a big Clancy fan.
