Michael B Jordan talks of his latest film, Without Remorse

For the film, the actor trained like a Navy Seal with combat training and deep-sea diving

In Without Remorse based on the eponymous Tom Clancy book, Michael B Jordan plays John Clark, a US Navy Seal, who gets sucked into a sinister whirlpool. Sounding relaxed over a call from Los Angeles, and often peppering his conversation with “you know what I mean,” Michael says, “I was already familiar with the Tom Clancy universe. I played the video games as a kid. As I got older, I got the chance to watch the movies and slowly got into the novels.” Film rights for Without Remorse were brought soon after the novel’s release in 1993. “This script has been around for a few years in Hollywood. When I was looking for projects that could potentially be a franchise, this was one that had a lot of elements that interested me. After making it a little bit more modern and representative of the world I live in today, it had a lot of potential. So we rolled our sleeves up over the last few years and started cracking into it.”
