Splinter Cell Movie in the Works

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."

    It'll be about a circus clown who decides to infiltrate the "evil corporation" that uses animals for experimental testing purposes.

    But rest assured, it'll maintain the spirit and flavor of the Splinter Cell franchise we know and love!
