6 Video Games You Can't Deny Would Be GREAT Movies

6. Splinter Cell

Splinter Cell has been a video game franchise eyed by movie studios for quite some time. Google a movie adaptation of the series and you're sure to find some article from the early 2000's saying an actor has signed on to the role of Sam Fisher, or a studio has secured the rights to bring it to the big screen.

Live-action adaptations have felt so one-the-cards with this series that in 2005's Chaos Theory's marketing, a short twenty-second trailer was released that teased a feature-length film was coming to your local theatres very soon.

Thirteen years later... we're still waiting.

It's no surprise studios got cold feet; over the last decade video game movies have received a bad reputation and a game primarily set in the dark or behind a green filter isn't something that sells cinema seats very quickly.

But could Splinter Cell transcend and break the barrier in today's cinema? Providing the story is linear and easy to follow, the action set pieces a brief and brutal like the game, and a dedicated actor is willing to perform their own acrobatic stunts to perform Sam Fisher's legendary sneaking moves, we shouldn't have to worry too much.
