A film based mostly off Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell collection of video games has been scrapped a decade on from its preliminary reveal, in line with feedback from producer Basil Iwanyk.
The Ubisoft flagship collection tells the story of Sam Fisher, an operative of the fictional NSA divison “Third Echelon” as he takes on criminals and terrorists to guard the homeland.
The film was to star Tom Hardy (Mad Max: Fury Street, Venom) as Fisher, and was to be directed by Doug Liman (Mr. and Mrs. Smith, Fringe of Tomorrow).
However in line with The Direct, Iwanyk confirmed that the film was not taking place because of points with the price range and the script:
“That film would have been superior… Simply couldn’t get it proper, script-wise, budget-wise. However it was going to be nice. We had 1,000,000 completely different variations of it, however it was going to be hardcore and superior. That’s one of many ones that received away, which is actually unhappy.”
Regardless of this setback, Splinter Cell followers can nonetheless stay up for Splinter Cell Deathwatch, a Netflix anime based mostly on the collection that’s presently in manufacturing and is scheduled for a 2025 launch.
