Ubisoft is Making The Division Movie!
Today, Ubisoft Motion Pictures, the film and television studio of Ubisoft, officially announced The Division the movie. And the Assassin’s Creed film hasn’t even been released yet…
Ubisoft also announced that Jessica Chastain (The Martian, Zero Dark Thirty) and Jake Gyllenhaal (Southpaw) are attached. Interesting enough, Jake has already been in a movie based on an Ubisoft property – Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. Though that movie didn’t do as well as everyone had hoped The Division is really popular at the moment; they would have to make it more than just an action movie sharing the game’s name to get people to buy tickets.
Of course, being that this is early news, there’s no date associated with the film. “Attaching Jake and Jessica is part of our development philosophy of working closely with top talent from the earliest stages to collaborate on a high quality film,” stated Matt Phelps, Vice President, Ubisoft Motion Pictures. We’ll be sure to update you once we hear more about The Division movie. In the meantime, let’s hope the Assassin’s Creed film releasing this December is well received!
