Actor Tom Hardy who most recently played a very well done rendition of Bane in Dark Knight Rises' has been cast as Sam Fisher in the upcoming Splinter Cell movie being produced by Ubisoft Motion Productions with the help of Regency Productions.

The movie; which is still in it's infancy stage, has not been given a date for when production is expected to begin.

Also announced from the Ubisoft camp is that Michael Fassbender will be starring in the upcoming Assassin's Creed film which is slated to start production in the summer of 2013. Fassbender starred in numerous movies such as Inglourious Bastards as Lt. Archie Hicox and X-Men First Class where he played Magneto. Fassbender is also known for his roles played in a few tv series such as the epic HBO miniseries Band of Brothers and British tv series Hex. Fassbender even lended his voice to Fable III as Logan; the older brother of the main character.

Sounds like some pretty decent talent coming to these movies. I'm pretty skeptical though.

Me too. Uwe Boll just tarnished video game related movies for me.

Don't EVER mention.... "he who must not be named", it draws his attention. The last thing we need is another Blood Rayne on our hands.
