Today, Ubisoft Motion Pictures has
officially announced the big screen adaptation of The Division videogame with Nightcrawler's Jake Gyllenhaal and Zero Dark Thirty's Jessica Chastain set to star.
"The
Division is coming to the big screen, and no, we’re not talking about that time
you ran the Falcon Lost Incursion on your buddy’s projector. The battle to
restore order to Manhattan is being made into a movie by Ubisoft Motion
Pictures, and will star Jessica Chastain (Interstellar, Zero Dark
Thirty) and Jake Gyllenhaal (End of Watch, Nightcrawler).
In addition to starring in the film, both Chastain and
Gyllenhaal will be a part of the development process through their production
companies, Freckle Films and Nine Stories, respectively. The pandemic-stricken
streets of The Division are filled with countless stories of love, loss,
treachery, and heroism, but we’ll have to wait to find out what avenues the
film will explore.
The Division is the latest Ubisoft property to join
the Ubisoft Motion Picture production line-up. Splinter Cell, Ghost Recon, Watch Dogs, and Rabbids movies are all in development, and of
course, Assassin’s Creed starring
Michael Fassbender will be released this winter on December 21st."
In the game, a
devastating pandemic sweeps through New York City, and one by one, basic
services fail. In only days, without food or water, society collapses into
chaos. The Division, a classified unit of self-supported tactical agents, is
activated. Leading seemingly ordinary lives among us, Division agents are
trained to operate independently in order to save society. When society falls, your mission begins.
