They are talented actors and have a relevant buzz. Good choices.
Also, Fassbender is not Desmond.

"HE DISAGREED WITH SOMETHING THAT ATE HIM" is by far the best line Ian Fleming ever wrote, and Sanchez is still the best villain.

Sam is in his 50s isn't he?
He has a daughter who is a little younger than this guy.
I hate Hollywood. So much.

I'm looking forward to Assassin's Creed more than this, but I think this announcement confirms that Ubisoft is serious about making these movies happen.
Now let's start casting the Beyond Good & Evil film that will never happen.

Sam Fisher was 47 in the first game (pretty sure he'll be 60 in Blacklist). Tom Hardy is 35; Will probably be 37 by the time this get's made. Not that big of an age gap.

looking at Blacklist, i have to wonder if they changed that

You bought a $30 blu ray for a movie you hadn't seen? WHY
There's a pretty huge difference between being 35, and being 45.
Roger Moore was a shitty Bond, sorry dude. All of the glitz, none of the grit. He was a poor representation of the Bond that Fleming created.

At least a decade passes through all of the Splinter Cell games.
Having a younger Sam in the beginning isn't really a huge stretch.
Not that big. Especially in film. He can easily look 47 if they needed him to be.
Are you saying each Splinter Cell game takes place a decade apart? Or are you saying in total, it takes place over a decade?

Tom Hardy can look pretty slim. Bane is just a super bulked up version of him.
You have my bow.
Lol no.

Did you just say 35 and 47 is not that big of an age gap? Mid 30s and almost 50 isn't a huge age gap? That's a huge physical difference.

Bane in The Dark Knight Rises and he was in Inception, can't remember the name of the character.
Why isn't this the first post?

Considering how the negociations for his contrack on Conviction went down, I am not surprised one bit.
It can't be any less Splinter Cell than recent Splinter Cell games so I'm excited.
I just want them to knock his character out of the park with his sarcastic sense of humor and calmness during missions instead of making him like Jack Bauer like the latest SC game seems to be doing.

In the beginning? How many of these do you think there will be?
I really can't see them Harry Pottering the Splinter Cell movies so that he will eventually be Sam's proper age.
There is a specific personality, mood, wisdom and style that can only come with age. That is part of what makes Sam who he is as a character.

Not gonna lie, I laughed.
Tom Hardy is awesome. He doesn't look like Sam Fisher, but fkkn who cares? Better to get a good actor than someone who just looks the part, and Michael Ironside is way too old. And probably too busy getting drunk somewhere.

I love how there is a teaser trailer for the Splinter Cell movie on the disc for Chaos Theory which came out in 2006. They really planned this shit out.
They made him younger for Blacklist again, late 30s-early 40s.

I hope he loses some of that muscle.
Imagine stealth with the Bane muscles. That lighthouse would just fall over.

Duckface for his myspace profile pic.
He looks exactly nothing like Sam Fisher.
Neither does Tom Hardy but Google image Ironside if you don't know what he looks like. Then imagine that in skin tight stealth gear.

Whenever I think of Ironside in films it is always Starship Troopers. "Rico! YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO!!"

I think they de-aged Sam for Blacklist. I read somewhere that he is from now on gonna be locked in a youthful "40ish" age.
Meh.
Hahahahaha, awesome.

Well looks like it might actually get off the ground this time.
It's splinter cell doesn't seem like it would be very hard to make into a movie, hell none of the Tom Clancy games do.
