Do I understand this correctly: Tom Clancy wrote it, that Arabs and moslems were the bad buys in the book, but for the movie, this has been changed to "neo-Nazis"?

Well, although I am quite irritated at Harrison Ford, the casting of Ben Affleck in this is ridiculous. Now that I know that they have completely changed the book, I can cheerfully save my money to buy another Clancy novel, and too bad for Paramount.

If they are going to change the plot, location, and characters, why do they even buy the book? It would be cheaper just to pay for an original screenplay.

Affleck will be as successful in the Ryan role as George Lazenby was in the Bond movie.

Anyone know who produced this movie? Can't be Eisner, Disney would have changed the Islamic terrorists into Catholic priests.

Correct. The "neo-nazis" were created as a red herring to divert from the activities of the "neo-commies", and the great unwashed swallowed it hook line and sinker. Personally the threat of the "neo-nazis" to my community my family and myself is off my radar screen.

Neo-commies (multiculturalism and PC-anything) is a whole other story. They are the clear and present danger.
As is Islam.
In my universe, the Saudis can spend millions, and it won't change reality.
As for the movie? *yawn*...
I already enjoyed the book and can re-read it any time I want.
