""I did Falcon and The Winter Soldier, and that's Disney," Kolstad said. "You're in a titanium tunnel--it's [still] a joy because you get to play in a sandbox filled with sand and play with their toys." With Splinter Cell, things were a little bit more open-ended. Much like a typical level in a Splinter Cell game, there was far less direction."
""What I love about it is that the only guardrails were [to] love the character [and] respect the IP. They just let me run," Kolstad added. As we learned recently, the Splinter Cell Netflix series will still be canonical to the games (for the most part), even without Ubisoft hand-holding during production. Liev Schreiber takes over the role of Sam Fisher from Michael Ironside--who has voiced the character in nearly every other appearance--with the notable exception of 2013's Splinter Cell Blacklist."
"Ironside later shared that he had cancer at the time and thought he was going to die, but he eventually made a full recovery and has occasionally voiced Fisher since then for cameos. Though Deathwatch arrives on October 14, there has been little news on the Splinter Cell game remake, which was announced several years ago at Ubisoft Toronto. When it does release, it will represent the largest gap, by far, between any two Splinter Cell games to date."
Splinter Cell: Deathwatch will premiere on Netflix on October 14. Derek Kolstad had wide creative freedom from Ubisoft while adapting the property, with only guardrails to love the character and respect the IP. The series remains mostly canonical to the games despite limited oversight during production. Liev Schreiber portrays Sam Fisher, replacing Michael Ironside, who previously voiced Fisher, later recovered from cancer, and has occasionally returned for cameo voice work. A Splinter Cell game remake announced years ago at Ubisoft Toronto has seen little news and, when released, will represent the largest gap between franchise games to date.
