WATCH: 'Edge Of Tomorrow' Director Doug Liman Talks 'Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell' Movie Adaptation [VIDEO]

Doug Liman is currently promoting his new film Edge of Tomorrow, which has been getting rave reviews, but he took some time out to talk about another huge project he's developing: the movie adaptation of the popular video game series Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell. With actor Tom Hardy set to star in the highly anticipated film, we're desperate to learn more details on this movie that we're so excited about.

The Ubisoft franchise is apparently looking to make the movie "younger," and casting Hardy as main character Sam Fisher is a step in that direction.

"I think everything about Splinter Cell will be younger," the director explained in a new interview. "It's a chance to come up with a new franchise that's fresher, newer, younger. And Tom Hardy is such an incredible actor."

Liman also talked about the hardships of adapting a video game into a film and how dropping some of the tropes within the game to make it better for film is something he's working on.

"Some of the tropes of the game will for sure be in the film. But also the fun of that is when you lose them, you know, just strip that stuff away and really make the character sort of have to operate without it," he explained.

What else can we expect from this video game adaptation and how will Liman and Hardy make fans of the series happy?
