Jake Gyllenhaal, who previously starred in the video game adaptation Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, is set to produce and star in The Division movie for Ubisoft, according to Variety.
Tom Clancy’s The Division is a ground-breaking RPG experience that brings the genre into a modern military setting for the first time. In the wake of a devastating pandemic that sweeps through New York City, basic services fail one by one, and without access to food or water, the city quickly descends into chaos. As an agent of The Division, you’ll specialize, modify, and level up your gear, weapons, and skills to take back New York on your own terms.
Tom Clancy’s The Division was released for the Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC on March 8, 2016. The game enjoyed the game industry’s biggest first-week launch for a new game franchise, generating $330 million globally.
The Division movie is currently looking for a writer to pen the adaptation.
Ubisoft also has movies based on Assassin’s Creed and Splinter Cell in the works.
