Paramount To Adapt Video Game 'Splinter Cell'

[Friday, December 17th, 2004]
Paramount has bought the film rights to Tom Clancy's video game Splinter Cell for director Peter Berg (Friday Night Lights) to direct, according to Variety.

Video game which is in its second edition, follows the adventures of government spy Sam Fisher as he's dispatched to infiltrate an international terrorist syndicate and stop a high-tech threat. Paramount said the movie's aimed at combining the vidgame's blend of stealth action with a "dynamic, original" character.

Published by French vidgame giant Ubisoft, Splinter Cell has been one of the most successful "stealth" action games; it centers on Fisher as he gathers intelligence and breaks into enemy headquarters while attempting to avoid attracting attention.
