Ubisoft release plans to have Tom Clancy's Splintercell feature on the big screen

There is already a series of novels and several comic books based on Tom Clancy's Splintercell, but soon fans will be able to head to the big screen for their fix of Splintercell. The game rose to fame in the Playstation One days and is endorsed by Tom Clancy, it has developed a strong following since then.

Ubisoft, the company behind the games say that the stealthy and tactical game would adapt well to being a Hollywood blockbuster. However, some fans are sceptical and feel that a blockbuster, if not produced correctly could potentially cheapen the overall feel of the franchise and alienate the fan base.

This news comes shortly after Sony announced that they were developing a film based on Assasins Creed. Warner Bros and Paramount pictures are in dispute as to who gains the rights to produce a Splintercell movie although rumours indicate that Paramount will be victorious in the bid.
