Splinter Cell (D: Liman) S: Tom Hardy
Paramount has acquired film rights to Tom Clancy's video game Splinter Cell and hired Peter Berg (Friday Night Lights) to direct.
Variety says Berg is writing the script along with Splinter Cell game writer J.T. Petty and John J. McLaughlin (Man of the House). Paramount said the movie is aimed at combining the game's blend of stealth action with a "dynamic, original" character. The game, now in its second edition, follows the adventures of government spy Sam Fisher as he's dispatched to infiltrate an international terrorist syndicate and stop a high-tech threat. Published by Ubisoft, Splinter Cell has been one of the most successful "stealth" action games. The first two games in the series, "Splinter Cell" and "Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow," have already sold more than 6 million units worldwide, and a third, "Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory," is slated for release in March. |
But the question is...will George Clooney star?
|
Peter Berg? Hollywood has so many untalented directors making huge movies.
|
Eh, who knows. He's never done a movie of this type, but his action debut was a decent actioner (The Rundown). He's definately a better filmmaker than any of the guys who've made video game adaptations in the past.
|
I hope Michael Ironside will be in it.
|
Have Clooney play in it but dub in Ironside's voice.
|
I liked the Rundown.
Who should star? Kiefer Sutherland! |

Fuck Splinter Cell! They need to make a Rainbow Six movie.

I've always thought William Peterson would be good as Sam Fisher, maybe moreso in his To Live and Die in L.A. days though.
|
Berg has potential. His dark comedy "Very Bad Things" was pretty good. And "The Rundown" was a surprisingly decent action film.
|
Gotta be Clooney, gotta be Clooney. And it can't be Keifer, since Dennis Haysbert should certainly be reprising his role of Irving Lambert, and we can't make this "24-The Movie".

Hardy has signed on to play Sam Fisher, lead of the Splinter Cell videogames in a new movie that, as of yet, hasn’t even got the backing of a studio. The game follows the stealthy sneaking and creeping of Fisher, a special agent for the FSA – which basically amounts to him being a gadgety ninja. Variety say that Ubisoft have been developing the film with screenwriter Eric Singer who previously penned The International and David O. Russell‘s pending picture that goes, for now, by the name of American Bullshit. Ubisoft’s statement says: Tom Hardy is currently one of the biggest talents in the film industry, and he has a phenomenal ability to take on complex and varied roles with his broad range of acting skills. His involvement in the ‘Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell’ movie is exciting news for movie and video game fans alike. Meanwhile, Eric Singer is one of the most talented writers of the moment, and … we’re confident he’ll bring a fresh approach and create a thrilling story … while still respecting all the codes and traditions of the franchise that are so important to fans. http://i.imgur.com/GIM0l.jpg |

I thought he was up for the John Clark role in Without Remorse that would crossover with the Jack Ryan movie...

Re: Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell movie, Tom Hardy is Sam Fisher.
This could be okay. I like the games and Tom Hardy is a pretty good actor.

Re: Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell movie, Tom Hardy is Sam Fisher.
Uh, do people still play the Splinter Cell games?

Re: Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell movie, Tom Hardy is Sam Fisher.
With all the bullshit rambling he did in TDKR, I would have sooner expected him to be cast in the Metal Gear movie.

They should have Michael Ironside's voice dubbed over Hardy's ;)
