Ubisoft and New Regency recently announced that they will be partnering with up and coming screenwriter Eric Warren Singer and award-winning actor Tom Hardy on the upcoming Splinter Cell Movie. Sam Fisher makes the perfect Hollywood hero and it will be a tall task for the team to bring the same gritty feel to the film that the games have come to be known for. As of right now there is no time frame for the films release but the team did release the following comments.
With actor Tom Hardy attached and screenwriter Eric Warren Singer to write the script, Ubisoft Motion Pictures will lead the development with the support of New Regency to bring the franchise to the big screen in a dynamic way, said Jean-Julien Baronnet, chief executive officer, Ubisoft Motion Pictures. For Ubisoft Motion Pictures, creative control is key and New Regency shares our commitment to respecting the creative freedom of our team. Their ability to produce both blockbusters and intriguing indie hits is an ideal fit for the Splinter Cell franchise.
We could not be happier to be teaming up with our friends at Ubisoft Motion Pictures on yet another truly iconic title. With a movie star like Tom Hardy in place and a gifted writer such as Eric Warren Singer penning the screenplay, we know the fans will not be let down, said New Regency CEO and President, Brad Weston.
