Despite this, when it came time to make "The Hunt for Red October," director McTiernan found his filmmaking "hook" from another source entirely. A new "Tom Clancy" novel is due in 2023.īecause so much of Clancy's literary body was frequently adapted to film and TV, they largely dictated the technical, militant tone of the decade's spy thrillers. Clancy himself died in 2013, but other authors have continued his stories under his name. This was in addition to a pair of mid-1990s TV series called "Op Center" and "NetForce." Tom Clancy's works were also adapted into a series of successful video games that are still being made to this day. Jack Ryan would return in the hit films "Patriot Games," and "Clear and Present Danger" (with Harrison Ford as Ryan) and "The Sum of All Fears" (with Ben Affleck). "Red October" was successful enough to spawn a briefly popular subgenre of steely espionage thrillers that persisted throughout the front end of the decade.
