Surprising no-one, Ubisoft’s Tom Hardy-led Splinter Cell film isn’t occurring.
The Splinter Cell film was introduced in November 2012, with Hardy, on the time contemporary from starring as Bane in The Dark Knight Rises, set to play spec ops agent Sam Fisher.
Two years later, Edge of Tomorrow director Doug Liman was introduced in to helm the film, however since then, aside from imprecise quotes about how issues have been going from the folks concerned, nothing concrete emerged.
Now, producer Basil Iwanyk has confirmed the Splinter Cell film is useless. In an interview with The Direct, Iwanyk known as the movie “one of many ones that obtained away.”
‘That film would have been superior,” Iwanyk stated. “Just could not get it proper, script-wise, budget-wise. But it was going to be nice. We had one million completely different variations of it, however it was going to be hardcore and superior. That’s one of many ones that obtained away, which is actually unhappy.”
IGN has requested Ubisoft for remark.
