Jake Gyllenhaal Signs On for ‘The Division’ Movie!

Jake Gyllenhaal is teaming up with Ubisoft once again to bring one of the best-selling games of 2016 to the big screen.

According to Variety, Gyllenhaal is set to star and produce a feature film based on Ubisoft’s ‘The Division‘ video game–a title that has been on the market for two months, but has set record sales for Ubisoft.

A script has yet to develop, but the film will more than likely follow the exploits of the Strategic Homeland Division who are trying to reestablish themselves after a smallpox outbreak decimates most of the country–leaving modern society vulnerable to criminal activity.

This will be Gyllenhaal’s second out starring as an Ubisoft hero. In 2010, the actor portrayed Prince Dastan in Disney’s Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, which (believe it or not) is the highest-grossing video game film of all time.

Seriously. It grossed over $335 million dollars world-wide.

The Division is now Ubisoft’s fastest-selling product at the tune of $330 million in its first five days of release, and one can surely bet that Ubisoft is looking for the same result at the box office. With an Assassin’s Creed movie already on its way, this could be an incredibly successful year for the French-based company.
