Oh well, can't be disappointed about something I didn't even know was in the works lol
We live in the weirdest timelines.
Sonic revitalised video game adaptions.
But splinter cell, arguably one of the easiest things to adapt (style wise) gets merced.
I have a feeling it's because zany animated movies are an easier sell to kids.
i mean im a smoothbrain but, i think splinter cell would probably be equally cheap to make since you have so much less cgi youd need
dunno about budget, I'm just taking in terms of the demand for these types of movies.
yeah, thats fair
Do kids nowadays even know what Splinter Cell is?
Doubtful. But that could let it be an r rated or high pg13 option.
I bet it's a major reason why they decided to drop it.
Unless they'd pair it with a new game. Wasn't the last one over 10 years ago?
I doubt it.
Tom Hardy was doing a Splinter Cell movie?
Apparently the announcement was made in stealth mode.
What better way to advertise your clandestine movie than with clandestine marketing?
Anything Splinter Cell without Michael Ironside's voice would be weird.
And not including Sam Fisher would also be weird.
Like the Splinter Cell books? (At least the first one)
I never read any of the books, I kind of fell off of Clancy quite a while ago. Worth reading?
I only read the first one so far. It's alright but they're not written by Clancy sadly.
All I want is a final proper send-off Splinter Cell before he dies. Sam Fisher's final job type vibe. I think there is some cool potential there - not that I trust Ubisoft to pull it off, mind.
