While the Splinter Cell movie may not have a studio backing it, it does have a writer and now a star attached to it.

Tom Hardy, who played Bane in The Dark Knight Rises and Shinzon in Star Trek: Nemesis for you trekkies, will play Sam Fisher. Now if we can just get Michael Ironside to dub his voice in for the entire movie we will be set.

This has been a big few weeks for Ubisoft on the big screen. To go along with the Splinter Cell announcement they also have the Assassin’s Creed film with Michael Fassbender set to begin production next year.
