Tom Hardy game for 'Splinter Cell' movie

Tom Hardy has signed on to star in "Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell," Ubisoft's film adaptation of its popular videogame franchise that Eric Warren Singer will write for the company.

Project is the second major movie based on one of its properties that Ubisoft is looking to get on the bigscreen after setting up "Assassin's Creed" at New Regency and Fox, that Michael Fassbender will co-produce and headline.

"Splinter Cell" is not yet set up at a studio, although Ubisoft has had preliminary talks with Warner Bros. and Paramount.

Hardy will play Sam Fisher, a highly-trained special operative in a fictional black-ops operation called Echelon.

Thesp recently played Bane in WB's "The Dark Knight Rises" and is shooting "Mad Max: Fury Road."

Singer also penned Black List script "American Bullshit," which David O. Russell will direct with Christian Bale, Bradley Cooper and Jeremy Renner set to star.

"Tom Hardy is currently one of the biggest talents in the film industry, and he has a phenomenal ability to take on complex and varied roles with his broad range of acting skills," said Jean-Julien Baronnet, CEO of Ubisoft Motion Pictures. "His involvement in the 'Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell' movie is exciting news for movie and video game fans alike. Meanwhile, Eric Singer is one of the most talented writers of the moment, and ... we're confident he'll bring a fresh approach and create a thrilling story ... while still respecting all the codes and traditions of the franchise that are so important to fans."

Game has sold more than 23 million copies since its debut in 2002. Six games have been released so far with "Splinter Cell: Blacklist," released next spring, developed by Ubisoft Toronto.

Au tour de Deus Ex :

'Sinister' Helmer Scott Derrickson to Direct 'Deus Ex' Feature From Iconic Video Game

EXCLUSIVE: CBS Films has signed Scott Derrickson to direct Deus Ex: Human Revolution, the screen adaptation of the iconic Square Enix video game. Derrickson, who has had a hot hand recently in helming the hits Sinister and The Exorcism Of Emily Rose, will write the script with his Sinister co-writer C. Robert Cargill. Roy Lee and Adrian Askarieh will produce, and John P. Middleton is exec producer.

The setting is the near future, when dramatic advances in human augmentation have triggered a technological renaissance. The protagonist, an ex-SWAT security specialist named Adam Jensen, must embrace mechanical augments in order to unravel a global conspiracy.

"Deus Ex is a phenomenal cyberpunk game with soul and intelligence," said Derrickson. "By combining amazing action and tension with big, philosophical ideas, Deus Ex is smart, ballsy, and will make one hell of a movie. Cargill and I can't wait to bring it to the big screen."

The video game franchise launched in 2000 and its latest entry, Deus Ex: Human Revolution, has been a top-seller and will be the template for the film. The game was developed by Eidos-Montréal and published by Square Enix. CBS Films' Maria Faillace and Alex Ginno are overseeing the film. Derrickson and Cargill are represented by WME and Brillstein.

This is the third major game that has made a significant move forward into features, after New Regency agreed to finance an adaptation of the Ubisoft game Assassin's Creed that will star Michael Fassbender, and Tom Hardy became attached to star in a feature based on Ubisoft's Splinter Cell. The video game-to-feature transfers have been a mixed bag and some of these films have been disappointments. But there was a time when movies made out of Marvel superhero characters totally sucked, and now every one of them is a blockbuster — an evolution that began when Marvel got its act together under Avi Arad and then Kevin Feige. As game companies become more discerning in how their hit properties get adapted, it is possible we're heading for a golden age of game-based features?

Neill Blomkamp (District 9, Elysium) ne regrette pas d'avoir raté l'occasion de bosser sur le film Halo qui était pour lui trop restrictive. Le jour ou un éditeur se décidera a leur laisser carte blanche peut-être que ça changera... quoiqu'un Uwe Boll a eu toute latitude de le faire, on a vu le résultat :sweat:

District 9 director Neill Blomkamp regards collapse of Halo movie as the biggest stroke of luck in his career

District 9 and Elysium director Neill Blomkamp has cited the collapse of the Halo movie both he and Peter Jackson were set to collaborate on the biggest stroke of luck in his career. He has said that had the project not dissolved he wouldn't have made District 9 and learned several life lessons along the way.

Speaking with LA Times Hero Complex, Blomkamp explained that after the Halo project was canned, Jackson sympathetically helped the director find funding for his own pet project District 9, which incidentally went on to be a commercial and critical success after release.

He said, "The luck is the fact that Peter and Fran let me make ['District 9'] out of the ruins that were 'Halo'. What happened out of that was learning to trust my ideas. If 'Halo' had come out and succeeded or failed, I wouldn't have learned that."

Once District 9 proved that Blomkamp knew how to manage his budget efficiently to create superb visual effects, other big studios started firing blockbuster projects his way, only to turn them down and stick to his own ideas.

"It's getting to the point now where [his agency] WME just doesn't send me stuff any more. It's not because I think I'm better than any of that stuff. There are many franchises out there I would love to participate in. The problem is when you agree to do that, you take a lot of the control that you have over your own creative destiny away from yourself."

Blomkamp is gearing up for the release of his new sci-fi flick Elysium, which looks pretty damn intriguing. What do you think of the above?

Y a pire:
le film Shadow of the Colossus
et de ce que j'ai compris pour l'adaptation ils visent un film d'action avec un héros type gros bras (donc l'opposé du jeu où justement tu es frêle mais courageux).

[Hobes]

Je ne savais même pas qu'ils avaient prévu d'en faire un film :roll2: Vivement un Ico pendant la seconde guerre mondiale.
