EXCLUSIVE: Colman Domingo Opens Up About his New Movie, Tom Clancy’s Without Remorse
Today, April 30, Amazon Prime Video has released its new movie, Tom Clancy’s Without Remorse. Based on the book by Tom Clancy, we had the chance to sit down with Colman Domingo to celebrate the release. Check out what he had to say below.
On films skipping theaters and going straight to Amazon Prime Video:
“It feels great to have that accessibility. People can watch it and view it when they want to watch it. Hopefully, everyone has been setting up their adjacent bedrooms into a screening room. So now I think they can get the full experience. I feel like especially for a film like this, you want to see Michael [B. Jordan] and Jodie [Turner-Smith] and all their glory on the big screen. So you can do it in your own. And I think that’s awesome.”
On which theme in this film strikes him the most:
“It sounds like now. It sounds like things we’re wrestling with now, right? In every single way. I think what I love about the film, actually, what attracted me to it was the fact that at the center of Michael’s character, you see he’s just a man who’s trying to do good in the world, who believes in country, who believes in family, who has a spiritual core. And then you look at what happens when all is taken away from this person and what they have to do.
These are the arguments we all have, which is like, what happens when you can’t play the grace card anymore? ‘What do I do to try to right the wrongs in society? And what access do I have? What agency do I have? What am I up against?’ So I think it’s just a great moral quandary that we have that’s in the center of the film. And that’s what so beautiful about Michael’s character and the way he portrays it. We’re trying to right some wrongs and this is what we’ve been dealt and how are we going to deal with it? We’re up against the system. I think it’s going to resonate with audiences in very deep and meaningful ways. And who doesn’t want a big action film right now?”
