Jake Gyllenhaal Will Star In and Produce Ubisoft's The Division Film
>Jake Gyllenhaal is back in the video game movie business. After attempting to launch a franchise with Prince of Persia, Gyllenhaal is attached to The Division, the newest title in the Tom Clancy family of videogames that Ubisoft has produced. The game is Ubisoft's fastest-selling title, and likely to launch a franchise all its own.
>Variety reported the deal, looking for Gyllenhaal to both star in and produce the movie, though they note the film doesn't yet have a writer or director, nor a studio - Ubisoft plans to sign another player or two into the equation before shopping it to studios.

>movie about shittier third person Destiny Why.
Jason Thomas
>the big guy will now be working for the CIA Is this some kind of pottery?
Austin Gray
Ubisoft is trying really hard to be the Marvel of video game movies, but they don't have enough properties that people care about to make more than one or two. Isn't there a Watch_Dogs movie in development too?
Jaxson Collins
God fucking damnit Jake. You're a way better actor than this.
Alexander Gutierrez
watch dogs could easily work, just look at Mr.Robot
Carson Davis
Ubisoft is probably looking for him because he starred in Prince of Persia and it did decently.
Noah Bailey
he loves doing different shit and hollywood is full of capeshit so its either dive in that or keep doing oddball movies.
I mean besides Jarhead, thats really only military type shit he has done.

>Division movie >Jake gyllenhaal places mobile cover near a wall and phases through it
Only way I would enjoy it
Dominic Lewis
is it going to be two hours of jake grinding to get gear
Aiden Morgan
>still no Shadow of the Colossus movie >still no Bioshock movie >still no Hotline Miami movie >no Rocket League movie being made in the style of Rollerball and Mad Max >no Diablo movie

Jackson Price
The concept always seemed better fit to a film anyway, I think this will be the first real vidyakino
Connor Harris
Well at least they are getting good actors to star in their video game films.
Isaiah Ross
i gotchu faM
Adam Cruz
He was awesome in Jarhead.
I liked that one where he goes into the past but he's like a fucked up body. That was kind of mil-light.
Xavier Nelson
I enjoy the division's new DZ. Cuttin niggas cords and getting phat loot. You see another group and the only time people are not getting laid out is if there is nothing contestable. The shittalking between groups even during fights, all good.
Nathaniel Foster
All those sound like they'd be unfeasible or at least a bit rubbish
>no Rocket League movie being made in the style of Rollerball and Mad Max
Except this
Gabriel Wilson
why make movies based on games that did shit?
Gabriel Clark
That sounds like Source Code. Jake always has a good eye for scripts.
'Demolition' was pretty fucking good, too.
Anthony Hall
Hello friend, what about ROBO JOCKS?!
Carson Edwards
Yeah Source Code, that movie I liked. The girl in that is unf, she was in The Departed too.
Blake Perez
>The Division Film Could actually be cool. I still resent them for turning a potentially interesting single player concept into shiny Skinner box MMO with input lag.
Henry Hill
He does. I jsut dont want him doing vidya movies. Its my same approach to Fassbender and vidya.
Robert Murphy
Mr Robot is infinitely better than that piece of shit
Juan Watson
Everyone wants to be vidyashit's RDJ.
Aaron Jones
Yeah I've been thinking about the Rocket League thing for a few months tbqh. Feels like something that could be really cool.
Connor Morgan
>turns down numerous capeshit offers >but signs up for vidyashit
David Carter
D R O P P E D
Adam Murphy
That's fine, it could easily work. I like Jake Gyllenhaal.
John Foster
Don't underestimate based Jake. He's been in multiple movies that should have been shit but turned out notsobad
Ayden Lopez
>not murdering bullet king, then going back in time and doing it again
But in all seriousness, the division would have been a better movie than it was a video game
Sebastian Evans
all the jew genes skipped him and went directly into his sister
Matthew Hernandez
videogames make more sense than a fucking ant man riding ants
Robert Howard
Hopefully he can get Villeneuve on board like Fassbender did with the Macbeth director
Ethan King
Splinter Cell is about the NSA
Angel Diaz
Why is he so perfect
Tyler Young
nooooo he should be doing alan wake directed by fincher
Jose Gonzalez
Strangely enough, I want to see him play the doom guy.
Dylan Hernandez
>Ubisoft's The Division Film
Cameron Wright
>tfw Silent Hill wasn't that bad and left the universe open for better movies based on SH2, SH3 or SH4. Then Silent Hill Revelation was so awful it trashed the franchise forever with no survivors. >tfw Ace Attorney was prime vidyakino and will never be acknowledged or get a sequel >tfw no Professor Layton and the Eternal Diva sequel
Nathan Butler
>wasting a good actor on a Division film
Great.
Chase Richardson
Have you played he game? It's about the NSA
Landon Edwards
>Kino movement started in Montreal in 99 >Ubisoft major studio also in Montreal
It's like they're meant for each other
Kayden Bailey
>The world's most boring video game story gets a movie adaptation. BOO!
Nicholas Bell
Can't wait to see him farming Bosses for purple drops
Luke Hall
>All those ethnicities Might as well call him a European runt.
John Gray
Even though the game might been garbage the universe it established might make for an ok movie
Ian Cruz
>to launch a franchise with Prince of Persia, I only watched it for Gemma
Gameplay and longevity wise, the Division sucked. But the atmosphere and potential for story telling was fucking amazing.
Juan Young
>Can Ubisoft save vidyakino? Ubisoft can barely make competent games.
Anthony Green
Ace Attorney was from Takashi Miike right? Still need to watch that one
Ayden Evans
If youve seen the short they made to market the game, which is fuckin cool - the movie should be great, it cant be worse than the game. 1 fun-ish play through thats 50% fetch quests and no end game added until recently.,
Isaiah Gomez
Yep. And he did another movie based on Yakuza Souls too.
