I agree with Wolfeson28. A miniseries would be the only media capable of capturing the way Clancy weaves together the magnitude of the whole war with only a few personal accounts. A movie, even if it was three hours long, could never do that.
I've read the book a good half dozen times, and I think it could work very well as Band of Brothers-style miniseries, moving between the various interacting plotlines like Game of Thrones does. Interest in Cold War fiction has dropped off somewhat, but with the recent events involving Russia and the Ukraine, there might be room for a revival. The other problem, unfortunately is cost. Since so much of Red Storm Rising involves large battle sequences, there's just no way around requiring a large budget to make, and unlike Game of Thrones, I don't know that a Red Storm Rising series could be popular enough to justify that cost.
Compared to what it would take to make a real multi part series for (red storm rising) it would make (band of brothers) look like a walk in the park. But as for me I say hell yes put it into production ! We have the people, money, war machines, all of Germany and the sky above it, not to mention the whole Atlantic ocean, all to use a the REAL back drops for filming. Also you would have a ready made fan base, just make sure to snag everyone else with good trailers so they keep coming back !
The Book would lend itself really well to a mini series, but for two things. 1. Unfortunately, nowadays there does not seem to be much interest in an 80s era cold war gone hot story 2. The first part would be tricky. The Oilfield assault has lots of action, but the rest woul be only the brewing of the storm and an introduction of the players. The audience might get bored and without lots of trailers showing the action in later parts would not turn in anymore.
This is one of those novels that will never be made into a movie. The book has so many viewpoints, so many plots, subplots and storylines that the movie would be four hours minimum. Just the submarine stories would take an hour. Then you got the Soviet views opposing each NATO view. Even a mini-series would be impossible. It would end up not doing the novel justice and falling short of what we would be expecting.
SixStringLove Guy true, but I wouldn't mind if one was made, Id definitely spend my money on it. Let's face it, Tom Clancy became popular so long ago now that only us older die hard fans really care about it. And yeah I'm generalizing, I know younger fans like it also but my point is, nowadays the big movies are all Marvel or something else.
I'd also wonder how much it would cost to show all the naval action like the strike on the Nimitz battle group. Even with computer modeling it would be millions.
A movie? No it be crammed in and they'd butcher it. A mini-series like band of brothers would be more appropriate. It's spread out, characters can develop, the plot won't feel rushed and they can generally take their time telling the story. Only one condition. IT MUST BE HBO!
NATO versus what's left of the Russian Federation's military in 2023 would not even be a fair fight. NATO would liberate Ukraine (w/Crimea) in a month, then maybe onto Belarus? The thing is, NATO was always a DEFENSIVE organization and NEVER had any expansionist goals.

I love this trailer! It is the only one that I have seen that does Red Storm Rising justice!!!
iTunes does finally have the unabridged version available.
A Netflix series spanning multiple seasons could pull this off.
whats the music around 0:05?
Needs a series
Thumbs up if they should make a movie called "Red Storm Rising"
What is the music at the beginning of the video?
NIce. Really awesome. But Did you made this before the CW merger between CBS's UPN and the WB networks?

Interesting to explore how this is in fact playing out "Putin style..
