The Splinter Cell movie was first announced back in 2004 with a trailer on the Chaos Theory disc. It later entered development with Tom Hardy in talks to star in 2012, but then everything went very quiet with the latest update coming in 2015 when Hardy himself announced the movie would be released in 2017.
Now, we have official confirmation from producer Basil Iwanyk that the project is dead. "That movie would have been awesome," he told The 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."
