Tom Hardy’s Splinter Cell film is formally useless, in keeping with producer. It’s been virtually twenty years because it was first introduced.
If you happen to had been nonetheless holding out hope for the Splinter Cell film starring Tom Hardy, I’ve bought some unhealthy information: it ain’t occurring.
Basil Iwanyk, who has been connected as a producer on the Splinter Cell film for over a decade, advised 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.”
Primarily based on Tom Clancy’s novels, Splinter Cell facilities on Sam Fisher, a extremely skilled particular operative in a fictional black-ops division. He and his workforce battle worldwide terrorists. The undertaking was first introduced as a particular characteristic on Splinter Cell: Chaos Idea, which was launched in early 2005. Hardy signed on to star as Fisher in 2012, so this undertaking has been in growth for a very long time.
Iwanyk spoke of the challenges of getting the undertaking 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 film stand out from different spy films 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 films in a very long time, to make it really feel recent?“
Though the Splinter Cell film isn’t occurring, a Splinter Cell anime collection is about to be launched on Netflix, with Liev Schreiber voicing the principle character.
