Splinter Cell Movie in the Works

Posted by Zonk on from the sound-of-cracking-vertebrae-in-THX dept.

By way of Voodoo Extreme comes the news that a movie adaptation of Splinter Cell is in the offing. From the blurb: "Paramount has acquired film rights to Tom Clancy's video game Splinter Cell and hired Peter Berg (Friday Night Lights) to direct. Variety says Berg is writing the script along with Splinter Cell game writer J.T. Petty and John J. McLaughlin (Man of the House). Paramount said the movie is aimed at combining the game's blend of stealth action with a "dynamic, original" character."

    Well, if they want a dynamic, original character, that certainly rules out Sam Fisher, who was neither dynamic nor original.

    Of course, I think I'm about the only person in the world that thought the story to Spliter Cell was boring, incoherent nonsense, so maybe take my opinion with a bit of salt.

    Splinter Cell sucks to much to play, so to watch must be worst. Even in a form of a movie.
