The Adjustment Bureau's George Nolfi is set to direct a new biopic of Bruce Lee...

News

We've already had one big screen hit biopic of Bruce Lee, with Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story doing a decent job back in 1993. It starred Jason Scott Lee as Bruce Lee, with Rob Cohen directing, and was a solid hit.

Now we hear that a new Bruce Lee biopic is on the way, this one set to focus on Lee's fight with Wong Jack Man in 1965 (many years before Lee's brief film career began). The story is set to be told from the viewpoint of Steve Macklin, Lee's young follower, and the plan is to get filming started next spring.

And whilst we've no idea as of yet who will be playing Bruce Lee this time around, we know who's directing the film. George Nolfi, best known for helming The Adjustment Bureau (as...

In an interview with ArabicGamers (via IGN), Splinter Cell: Blacklist art director Scott Lee has revealed that the hit video games franchise will indeed continue on the next generation of consoles such as the Playstation 4 and Xbox One. "For next-gen there are a lot of plans in the works," he teased, "obviously we can't talk about that at the moment but I definitely look forward to seeing Sam in new adventures, bigger and better as we go along." He went on to definitively state that "Sam will be back," and reiterated that Splinter Cell is "a big and very important franchise" for Ubisoft. This is hardly surprising, especially after it was recently announced that Eric Singer (The International) will write the screenplay for a big screen adaptation which will star Tom "Bane" Hardy. You can check out the latest trailer for Splinter Cell: Blacklist below.

The Splinter Cell series has always been about using the darkness and staying hidden as a tool to get through the game. Blacklist will be no different, but changes have been made since the last title. After watching the game in live action and chatting with Art Director, Scott Lee, the changes become more clear.

If players recall 2010′s Splinter Cell: Conviction, the world around Sam Fisher would go into black and white to indicate to them that they have successfully hidden in the darkness. Lee shared “going black and white sapped the life out of the game and that was a bad idea. It was a disservice to the work put into the game and we wanted to change that.” Lee also shared that the game is also geared more toward realism and going black and white, although creative, isn’t very realistic.

In Blacklist, players will know if...

Bruce Lee's story is to be the subject of another film, as work begins on Birth Of A Dragon...

We always felt that Jason Scott Lee did a really good job of portraying Bruce Lee in the middling biopic of the star, Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story. That film came out - are you ready for this? - 20 years ago now. It was directed by Rob Cohen (who would go on to launch The Fast & The Furious franchise), and it's still worth digging out. It left plenty of room for another telling of Bruce Lee's story though, and that's just what's being planned.

The new film is going by the working title Birth Of The Dragon, and it'll pick up in the aftermath of Bruce Lee's battle with Wong Jack Man in 1965. The Hollywood Reporter says that Stephen Rivele and Christopher Wilkinson are penning the screenplay,...

"Splinter Cell: Conviction" was decisive for fans of the globetrotting techno-thrillers based on the works of Tom Clancy. For the series faithful, the gunplay heavy 2010 entry, in simplifying the stealth and emphasizing quick kills using the then-new Mark and Execute mechanic was a betrayal to the methodical stealth gameplay of previous "Splinter Cell" titles. On the other hand, to some, it was a more accessible game, still allowing players to skulk around the shadows as Sam Fisher, but with less time spent waiting for NPCs to complete lengthy routes along their AI-controlled paths.

When Ubisoft gave an early look at "Splinter Cell: Blacklist" during last year's E3, the big question was which "Splinter Cell" would it be? The deliberate, low and slow stealth game of the "Double Agent" era, or the more action-oriented "Conviction?" Last week, the publisher brought out the gaming press for some hands-on time with two single player maps from "Blacklist,...
