During an interview with Collider about John Wick, producer Basil Ilwanyk (The Expendables) talked about the upcoming Splinter Cell movie starring Tom Hardy (The Dark Knight Rises, Warrior) and directed by Doug Liman (Edge of Tomorrow, The Bourne Identity). The movie has been in works for sometime now.

According to Ilwanyk, “Splinter Cell will go some time next year, that’s Doug Liman and Tom Hardy. We’re getting the script right because if you have Doug Liman and Tom Hardy you want to make it great. It’s very, very active. We’re going to make it. Tom and Doug are going to make it when it’s perfect and we’re getting there. It’s not a movie you want to jam [together] quickly. We have three perfectionist. Ubisoft, who has a huge asset on their hands so they’re not going to make a movie for the sake of making a movie. We have Doug Liman, who’s Doug Liman. He’s not going to make a movie for the sake of making a movie. Tom Hardy is one of the hottest actors in the world. With that combination, we have to make it great. We all know that

The movie script will be handled by Sheldon Turner (X-Men: First Class, Up in the Air).
