Tom Hardy’s Splinter Cell movie is officially dead, in response to producer. It’s been nearly twenty years because it was first introduced.
In the event you had been nonetheless holding out hope for the Splinter Cell movie starring Tom Hardy, I’ve received some dangerous information: it ain’t occurring.
Basil Iwanyk, who has been hooked up as a producer on the Splinter Cell movie for over a decade, informed The Direct that they couldn’t get it off the bottom. “That movie would have been awesome… Just couldn’t get it right, script-wise, budget-wise,” Iwanyk mentioned. “But it was going to be great. We had a million different versions of it, but it was going to be hardcore and awesome. That’s one of the ones that got away, which is really sad.”
Based mostly on Tom Clancy’s novels, Splinter Cell facilities on Sam Fisher, a extremely educated particular operative in a fictional black-ops division. He and his crew battle worldwide terrorists. The mission was first introduced as a particular function on Splinter Cell: Chaos Idea, which was launched in early 2005. Hardy signed on to star as Fisher in 2012, so this mission has been in growth for a very long time.

Iwanyk spoke of the challenges of getting the mission off the bottom in 2017. “The challenge of making Splinter Cell interesting was we didn’t have this IP with a very specific backstory,” he defined. “That allowed us to make up our own world and really augment and fill out the characters. I don’t think one applies to the other because I don’t think our movie will feel like a movie that came out of a video game, I think it’ll feel like a badass, Tom Hardy action movie, which is what we wanted.” He added that they needed to make their movie stand out from different spy motion pictures like James Bond and Jason Bourne. “The good and the bad news is that, obviously, the Bond movies have had a resurgence and the Jason Bourne movies are the Jason Bourne movies, so we’re trying to stay away from those movies in terms of tone, in terms of bad guys, in terms of settings,” he mentioned. “What’s a world that we haven’t seen but? What’s an space of the world and a battle that we haven’t actually touched upon in motion pictures in a very long time, to make it really feel contemporary?“
Though the Splinter Cell movie isn’t occurring, a Splinter Cell anime collection is set to be launched on Netflix, with Liev Schreiber voicing the principle character.
