Grab your unique three-eyed glasses, Sam Fisher arrives on Netflix.
In collaboration with game developers Ubisoft, Netflix has commissioned 16 episodes of an anime-style adaptation of Splinter Cell games, and has partnered with John Wick Derek Kolstad as executive producer.
The Splinter Cell franchise has remained inactive since Splinter Cell: Blacklist in 2013. In the early 2010s, there were persistent rumors of a film adaptation with Tom Hardy in mind, but nothing has been announced on this front since 2017. But now Netflix has shown two seasons of the anime adaptation directly from the door.
With some main points published beyond that, it remains to be noted whether Michael Ironside, the long-standing actor of the protagonist Sam Fisher, will be involved. Although not blacklisted, he returned to the role in 2020 for Sam Fisher’s cameo in Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Breakpoint, acting as motion capture and doubling.
John Wick’s franchise is rarely Kolstad’s only work, however, his decidedly action-oriented technique is the highlight here, and Kolstad is, to the most, exclusively an action writer. The biggest charm of the games is the action of sneaking and shooting, not the pretty generic plot. Kolstad’s presence suggests that the adaptation will also focus on blood and thunder rather than getting lost in a confusing story about foreign espionage.
Although this comes at a time when video games are adjusting to a more believable option for screen adaptations, unlike the old days of the movie Super Mario Bros., Splinter Cell doesn’t bring the same curse. The games themselves began as ”Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell’,’ Clancy himself had little to do with them, being themselves a kind of spin-off of the other Ubisoft Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six and Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon franchises, either from Clancy’s novels and, at the end of the cycle, Splinter Cell continued to generate its own series. The fact is that Clancy was (and apparently still is) cat grass for adaptations, his books recorded 8 film adaptations since 1990, as well as Jack Ryan’s existing Amazon Prime.
As for the game franchise, Luca Ward, Sam Fisher’s Italian double, said this year he had to come out a “conclusive episode” before a safe pandemic, and that he was “sure” that he would return.
