Dreamworks To Make Splinter Cell Movie
 
DreamWorks is close to acquiring the film rights to Tom Clancy's excellent videogame Splinter Cell, with Daniel Pyne (The Manchurian Candidate) attached to write the script.

The studio will take the project over from Paramount, where it was originally set up last winter. Michael Ovitz, Clancy's longtime manager, is still producing. Clancy and Yves Guillemot, chief of videgame publisher Ubisoft, are executive producing.

Splinter Cell, now in its third edition, follows the adventures of Sam Fisher, a highly trained secret operative of the NSA's secret arm: The Third Echelon. The videogame series grants players access to the highest echelons of national security, where shadowy operatives have the freedom to do whatever it takes to safeguard America.

Video games are slowly making their way to the silver screen, with news just the other day that Microsoft's Halo is making its way to the big screen. Hopefully, neither of these films will bomb - unlike Street fighter, Double Dragon, and Tomb Raider. A movie adaptation of Doom is also in the pipeline.
