GAMING NEWSUbisoft Partnering With New Regency On Splinter Cell FilmPosted 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.” [Source] More from the Game Revolution Network Comments

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.
