The project was put on hold after transferring over to Dreamworks and then Viacom, Paramount's parent company, purchased Dreamworks further adding to the muddle. The Splinter Cell movie script, like all things magical, is already available for public viewing on the net but an interesting detail to crop up: This text was penned not by series scriptwriter J.T. Perry but none other than Stuart Beattie. Yes, the same Beattie who's a part of the weapon of mass mindf**k G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra.
