ESTABLISHING THE STUDIO AS OUTLIER SOCIETY’S HOME FOR ALL CONTENT
First Up, the High-Octane Actioner

Launching Globally on Prime Video on
April 30, 2021
Amazon Studios and Michael B. Jordan’s Outlier Society are expanding on the
production banner’s existing deal to now feature an exclusive overall
relationship in television and a first-look film deal. Under the film pact,
Outlier Society will produce and acquire elevated films showcasing diverse,
bold filmmakers and talent for the studio’s ever-growing original movies
slate. This deal comes in the lead up to the release of Tom Clancy’s
Without Remorse, starring and produced by Michael B. Jordan, launching
globally on April 30, 2021 on Prime Video in over 240 countries and
territories.
This 360-degree creative relationship with Jordan and Outlier
Society will see crosscollaborations within Amazon's vast businesses, from
fashion, Audible to music and more – including the debut of Jordan in
Amazon’s Alexa big game ad yesterday. The spot, which played into Jordan's
title as People’s Sexiest Man Alive, where he was the body of Alexa,
premiered during the 4th quarter of the game.
An elite Navy SEAL uncovers
an international conspiracy while seeking justice for the murder of his
pregnant wife in Tom Clancy’s Without Remorse, the explosive origin story
of action hero John Clark – one of the most popular characters in author
Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan universe. When a squad of Russian soldiers kills his
family in retaliation for his role in a top-secret op, Sr. Chief John Kelly
(Michael B. Jordan) pursues the assassins at all costs. Joining forces with
a fellow SEAL (Jodie Turner-Smith) and a shadowy CIA agent (Jamie Bell),
Kelly’s mission unwittingly exposes a covert plot that threatens to engulf
the U.S. and Russia in an all-out war. Torn between personal honor and
loyalty to his country, Kelly must fight his enemies without remorse if he
hopes to avert disaster and reveal the powerful figures behind the
conspiracy. Tom Clancy’s Without Remorse stars Michael B. Jordan, Jamie
Bell, Jodie Turner-Smith, Lauren London, Brett Gelman, Jacob Scipio, Jack
Kesy, Colman Domingo, and Guy Pearce.
Tom Clancy’s Without Remorse is
directed by Stefano Sollima, from Paramount Pictures, Skydance and New
Republic Pictures. The film is produced by Weed Road Pictures, The Saw Mill
and Outlier Society. The screenplay is penned by Taylor Sheridan and Will
Staples. Producers are Akiva Goldsman, Josh Appelbaum, André Nemec and
Michael B. Jordan, and executive producers are David Ellison, Dana
Goldberg, Don Granger, Brian Oliver, Bradley J. Fischer, Valerii An, Alana
Mayo, Denis L. Stewart and Gregory Lessans.
Jordan recently anointed
Elizabeth Raposo as President of Outlier Society. The former Paramount
President of Production will be responsible for overseeing all production
and development aspects of the shingle alongside Jordan. Jordan launched
Outlier Society in 2016 with the goal of bringing diverse stories and
voices to market. The impressive slate of upcoming projects includes the
Denzel Washington-directed feature Journal for Jordan with Jordan starring
and producing; Creed III, the third installment of the Rocky franchise for
MGM which will see Jordan reprise his role as Adonis Creed, and DC property
Static Shock.
