Ubisoft's film adaptation of Splinter Cell has been canceled, according to one of the film's producers.
As reported by The Direct, producer Basil Iwanyk confirmed that the adaptation is no longer in production. Iwanyk signed on for the film in 2013.
“A movie would be amazing […] I just couldn't get it right in terms of the script, the budget,” he said. “But it was great. We had a million different versions, but it was supposed to be hard and awesome. This is one of the ones that got away, which is really said.
Ubisoft's Splinter Cell has been in production limbo since its announcement in 2012. Variety later reported that Tom Hardy was to be cast as Sam Fisher.
In 2014, Doug Liman (Edge of Tomorrow) was attached to direct, but his production status has not been discussed since then.
While the film adaptation may be canceled, an anime series is currently in production at Netflix, set to premiere sometime in 2025.
In 2022, an eight-part audio adaptation was made for BBC Radio 4, Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Firewall.
