Ubisoft’s Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell games have never had a problem telling an intricate story, along with serving up plenty of stealth action. Nevertheless, the company’s upcoming Cell film adaptation has found a screenwriter to help flesh out the story.
Sheldon Turner, who previously worked on The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning, is on board for script writing duties, polishing a script that was worked on beforehand by American Hustle writer Eric Warren Singer.
The film, which will be directed by The Bourne Identity’s Doug Liman and starring The Dark Knight Rises’ Tom Hardy, could begin production as soon as August, with an intended release sometime in 2015.
Splinter Cell is just one of many projects in production at Ubisoft Motion Pictures. An adaptation of Assassin’s Creed is also in the works, featuring actor Michael Fassbender.
