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."

    I'd say Michael Ironside was a sure thing for the lead role, but he might be a bit old now (at 54)

    If only for the fact that a certain David Hayter is credited.... AKA the voice of Solid Snake in the Metal Gear games.
