Bane actor signs on to star in Splinter Cell film

Tom Hardy, the actor who played Bane, will star as Sam Fisher in a film adaptation of Splinter Cell from Ubisoft Motion Pictures.

I'm very excited to see Sam Fisher speak in the Bane voice.

NYC_Gamer4170d ago

He doesn't look/fit the whole image of Sam Fisher in my opinion

soundslike4170d ago

Not all actors are meant to be type-casted into what people think they should be. They are *actors* after all. The notion that they should repeat similar roles is just one of those habits that Hollywood created to devolve movies into bite sized, easily predictable, chunks.

PS-ADDICT4170d ago

True. Mark Whalberg was The exact actor i thought of Max Payne ...And that movie sucked,

i Wish young Kurt Russel or young Clint Eastwood could play Snake in metal gear solid movie, not the voice actor

That guy from FireFly should Play Nathan Drake in Uncharted and the elena voice actress should play her

And all the actors that were used in the mass effect series should be used for the Movie. I know Sheppard And Miranda are real Actors maby Joker could be played by seth green

"That guy from FireFly should Play Nathan Drake in Uncharted and the elena voice actress should play her"

No No and No

Nolan North should play him if Elena gets her role then Nolan should aswell

Lifeequals424170d ago

I can't picture him as Sam Fisher at all. Doesn't seem old enough, gruff enough, or American enough.

JeffGrubb4170d ago

Yeah, but I think he could still do something interesting as a super spy.

RyuX194170d ago

Have you seen Warrior that dude is pretty damn gruff, and he is a great actor you guys should be happy, but the more important thing is who will direct and write?

SybaRat4170d ago

Thank God they didn't cast Shia. You know they thought about it.

Man the industry just keeps on going with all this bs and to think this is ubisoft again remember what happened with that skull bones team same crap.
https://www.theverge.com/20...

This game will be tossed out broken unplolished with a bloated budget trying to be cod but will fail sense ubi can get there shit in order. If i was me i would have gotten rid of this boys club asap there is alot looking for work out there.

Every industry has these issues

Some companies I’ve worked for were great and some were toxic as hell (UPS when I was a teenager was extremely toxic and I have heard it still is) It all starts at the top. They either hold people accountable , set standards and treat people with respect or the crap rolls downhill.

Funny how all the clickhate was trying to spin that it was "struggling" to reach these very numbers.

Jin_Sakai47d ago

They have less than 1 million players but some people are playing 4 hours a day. That’s your record engagement.

thorstein46d ago

😢 😭 people are playing a game I hate and having fun. Why aren't they hating the game as much as I do?

GamerRN47d ago

It's an absolutely terrible game....

boing147d ago

I don't believe it one bit. Second highest to what? Any numbers?

ChasterMies46d ago

“Ubisoft announced that ‘Skull and Bones’ boasts over four hours of average daily playtime.”

So the few people playing it are spending a lot of time playing it. But there aren’t enough whales to feed this fleet. This game will die like so many other live service money grabs that came before it.

anast47d ago

This includes free trials.

shinoff218347d ago

I've read that same thing. Ifbtruebits not really impressive. Also maybe I missed it but I didn't catch any numbers in the article. Lastly what I did read felt more like an advertisement as if the site mightve caught a couple dollars from the publisher.

anast47d ago (Edited 47d ago )

People are saying it's around 850k across all platforms and free trials. To put it into perspective Helldivers 2 has around 360k 24hr peak on Steam and another 300k at least on PS5, and no free trials.

Aloymetal46d ago

Most likely. I tried the demo on PS5 and it looks so blurry I was shocked, crappy graphics. I thought for a minute I was playing the wrong version (PS4) but then again most games on PS4 look a 1000x better than this not to mention it's a grinding galore. F that.
