The Splinter Cell movie was first announced back in 2004 with a trailer on the Chaos Theory disc.
Now, we have official confirmation from producer Basil Iwanyk that the project is dead.
“That movie would have been awesome,” he toldThe Direct.
“Just couldn’t get it right, script-wise, budget-wise.
But it was going to be great.
We had a million different versions of it, but it was going to be hardcore and awesome.
That’s one of the ones that got away, which is really sad.”
Fans have been reacting to the long overdue news, admitting that they’d pretty much thought as much.
“I’ve long since assumed the movie was very dead.
It’s too bad though.
I think Splinter Cell would bring a fairly unique approach to the spy genre.
Athird argued: “How hard can this be?
Jack Ryan meets Batman.
C’mon this is a solved problem already.
“Another argued: “I think it’ll work better as a series tbh”.
