Tom Hardy to star in Splinter Cell movie

I hope this movie isn't a career killer for Hardy. I would hate to see that happen. 

This is a sad indictment of the film industry. Can they really do no better than this?

To be fair a movie such as Splinter Cell has a better chance of being a good blockbuster. I mean its one of these games thats not out of hte realms of possibiltiy , covert operations , political turmoil and a good dose of betrayal and backstabbing is that not pretty much just the same as a jason bourne movie or any other action , war movie?The only difference is we already know the splinter cell story is pretty solid and we already know its done well in the game, so transferring something similar to the big screen should not be that hard a mission. Something like assasins creed or the decent prince of persia is harder, both hold elements of extra ordinary content be it a time travellign dagger or a animus machine etc.. and thus make it harder to beleive in a movie , splinter cell on the other hand has no such elements to get over and i hope will be a great movie. Also Tom hardy is a machine and seeing him break a few peoples necks and smash some palces up is always a laugh.

Since the prince of persia;sands of time series was turned into a movie which was OK but a major disappointment to fans, the next POP game failed to follow the success of it predecessors. Best of luck to Ubisoft in their movie endeavors, I hope for the best, their shorts in AC and Ghost Reacon was awesome for a game studio. I say let us give them a chance since they are going to be tied up in their movie deals as the deciding creative contributor. 

"My stealth element is all but dead and replaced by action, why didn't you just kill me instead of making a film adaptation?"

"Your punishment must be more severe"

Ubisoft makes great games, but when it comes to real life (movie) situations they are a major fuck-up.  Stick to games. Movies can never be like Games. A game is an experience and you will only tarnish the experience by playing with our minds trying to instill the images of the actors who does not fit the profile of the character we absolutely LOVED!!!! Stop thinking money and save the characters. We do not need films we need more IP and gamers way.

And personally I wouldn't think of it as a game flim but a Tom Clancy novel turned into film, like Clear and Present danger. As I'm a big fan of Tom Clancy's literary work and his games.

People tend to confuse or lose the point of make a movie I dont blame them even those who are in the business scrw it specially when theu dont even take time to know the film is based in a particular ip or concept created for the movie. In this case splinter cell sam fisher already has a face it has a look they need to respect this there are many actors who can fit much better than Hardy. Just look the marvel movies on comparrison to DC ok iys mot a fair cpsn but you catch the idea

A game-based film reveal and 99% of the posts are haters...Shocking.

a little young but you could take the story from a young age.

It'll be weird not hearing Michael Ironsides voice.

good actor. however its gunna be weird seeing him acting a american accent or will he 

Daamn. The guy from Warrior? Best fighting movie ever. But, he doesn't look like Sam Fisher. 

well physically, George Clooney resembles Sam the most. especially on the Chaos Theory cover. I can't really imagine Hardy as Sam either though..

Grrrreat news.

Interesting.  I thought someone like Michael Fassbender, or Jeremy Renner would be their choice.  

Let's see how this turns out. 

If they are so desperate to turn games into movies at least ask gamers who they want as main actor that will at least satisfy some of the game fans if not all of them,  even if the damn movie fails(which will 99%) will not be a total disaster.

Why this person, there are other's who would fit the position much better....this person does not look like a Sam Fisher.

nice!!

Hmm.. Another Fuck up...No offense Tom Hardy is a good actor but I can never see him as Sam fisher......Jim Caviezel will be perfect, you gotta see him in "Person Of Interest", this guy is tailor made for the role.....

Another idea theft. Don't the ubisoft developers have any sense of creativity?! Do they always have to steal Kojima's ideas?! I'm glad, this guy was simply too fat to star as solid snake anyway.

I hope they don't screw up the  game

With typical Hollywood scriptwriters, I have a feeling that the screenplay will be crap.

Well hello there Mr. UPS man!

Well, as Sam would say, "FFmmm hmmm fwarrr; fwehn famam!"  Oh wait, that's what Bane would say.  Sorry.

Dammit!!! I don't really care about Splinter Cell if I'm honest, but if Hardy's in the movie then I'll HAVE to see it.

YES

The first decent game movie news I ever thought was decent. But then tomhardy did do one of the worst movies ever made. This means war.

I don't understand why are they promoting Tom Hardy this much. He is literarly in every major movie. Same thing was happening with Christian Bale a while ago. I mean WTF? They are good actors and all, but I'm getting tired of watching the same faces all over again.

Thats a great choice for Sam
