The Division movie gets its star and producer in Jake Gyllenhaal
No word on whether bugs will be exploited in the project.
As with many of Ubisoft's game properties, it appears that yet another is moving to the big screen. This time, it's The Division.
According to Variety, Jake Gyllenhaal has been cast to star in the latest Tom Clancy game adaptation, and he is listed as producer as well. The project is still looking for a writer to pen the screenplay.
This would not be Gyllenhaal's first foray into an Ubisoft film project. He starred in the Prince of Persia adaptation, The Sands of Time, in 2010, surrounded by other big names such as Ben Kingsley, Alfred Molina and Jerry Bruckheimer.
No other details were available, and Ubisoft is staying mum on the subject.
Ubisoft most current movie project is Assassin's Creed, starring Michael Fassbender, and is scheduled for release on December 21.

Man I can't wait to see Generic Grimdark Near Future Movie 0027!

I had the same thought. Is there anything unique about The Division that would make it stand out as a film? Prince of Persia and Assassin's Creed, I understand. But The Division? The universe is so bland and generic.

i think the book > movie transition for the clancy stuff was helped a ton by a few characters, like marko ramius in red october or jack ryan in pretty much everything. the world's generic because it pretty much was our world in the 80s or 90s, yeah? :D

90 minutes of Jake riding bareback towards the objective.

The virus transmitted through money thing could be a cool premise.
Gyllenhall beign a secret Division guy could be good too.
I bet they will shoehorn some family/kid rescue into it though. -
It's going to be 90 minutes of JG getting sniped by teleporting hackers then 20 minutes of furiously writing a Reddit post.
The post credits scene will show him buying all the DLC.-
i'd watch this movie when it goes on steam summer sale
