The Division Movie Starring Jake Gyllenhaal And Jessica Chastain Officially Announced

Developer Ubisoft has officially announced an upcoming film adaptation of their hit video game Tom Clancy's The Division. The announcement also confirms that Jake Gyllenhaal and Jessica Chastain will star in the film.

Here's what Ubisoft had to say on the company's official blog:

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.

The Warcraft movie may have failed in changing the negative public perception of video game movies, but Ubisoft seems to be giving it their best effort, and the Assassin's Creed trailer certainly has our hopes up.
