Ubisoft Partnering With New Regency On Splinter Cell Film

Posted on Thursday, December 6 @ 09:52:27 Eastern by Alex_Osborn

It looks like Ubisoft Motion Pictures' Splinter Cell film is now one step closer to becoming a reality. Tom Hardy is already set to star as the movie's leading man, and now Ubi has managed to strike up a partnership deal with New Regency.

While Ubisoft was allegedly considering going with Warner or Paramount, their decision shouldn't come as all too much of a surprise, especially in light of the fact that the company is already working with New Regency to bring Assassin's Creed to the big screen.

Ubisoft Motion Pictures CEO Jean-Julien Baronnet discussed the decision, saying, “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.”

    Splinter cell is basically about a spy sneaking through the enemy's backyard and stealing info, thwarting terrorism.

    CRYSIS was about a group of soldiers behind enemy lines with NANOSUITS which allowed them to become invisible, stronger and faster than the enemy - essentially bulletproof.

    Neither one of these premises could carry a feature length movie, BUT...

    How about if you incorporated "Sam Fisher" into a modern day story about an American spy hunting terrorists i.e. SYRIA or IRAN?

    Could you imagine a modern day anti-drug cartel film like "CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER" reshot to be about the Mexican Drug War and the soldiers be nanosuit soldiers behind enemy lines kicking ass until they get betrayed (like in the movie) and the traitor tells the Mexicans how to detect cloaked suits?

    In order to make a blockbuster movie, you've got to get people to come to the theater for one movie, but give them something they weren't expecting. Look at "Hobo With a Shotgun's" THE PLAGUE.

    Tom Hardy would make a crappy Sam fisher. In fact, I'd like it if they could make Sam's face unseeable and use Michael ironside's voice - Similar to DREDD'S face in Dredd 3D.

    Dude as soon as I read "Tom Hardy" my mind was kind of blown to be honest. How did they think that was a good idea, like at all? He's so far off base my only guess is that it's not even about Sam Fisher.

    The only good movie based on a game is (and always will be) Super Mario Bros., starring Dennis Hopper and John Leguizamo (and some other guy in the lead role...? IMDB isn't worth it right now).
