(RUMOR) New Splinter Cell in development, Michael Ironside returning as Sam Fisher

I could see Spies vs Mercs becoming their new R6 Siege if they pull it off right.

Such a great concept, just needs some tweaking.
 
Blacklist should've put Ironside in the role of a handler so they could introduce a new protagonist and find an actor that could do all the crazy mocap stuff they wanted to do.

I have no idea why they tried to change actors when they had such a perfect opportunity for an out that would appease fans (and make sense).

I'm necroing this old thread to share the confirmation from producer that the movie is officially 100% cancelled.

While promoting the tenth anniversary of John Wick, producer Basil Iwanyk, who signed on to produce the Splinter Cell film in 2013, confirmed that the previously announced live-action theatrical adaptation is now dead.
According to Iwanyk, the Tom Hardy-led movie is not happening anymore, as they "couldn't get it right:"

"'That movie would have been awesome... 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."

Ironside has since said he had cancer and thought he was going to die and that's why he didn't play Fisher.

Yeah I just saw the interview.. That sucks.

Still hope he comes back for a new installment though
