Michael Fassbender is set to bring the Assassin’s Creed video game franchise to life this December in what looks to be the first film to break the video game movie curse. Now, Variety has revealed that Ubisoft Motion Pictures has already started preparing to expand their slate of video game to film adaptations with their fastest-selling video game of the year, Tom Clancy's The Division.

According to Variety, actor Jake Gyllenhaal has signed on to star in Ubisoft's The Division, while also serving as a producer on the film. As of now, there is no word from Ubisoft, and Variety mentions that the film is currently looking for a writer to pen the script. The last time Gyllenhaal starred in a live action film adaptation based on a video game was in 2010's Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, another Ubisoft property. 

What do you think about Jake Gyllenhaal making his video game movie return in The Division?

@willyburz - I haven't played it. I've been too caught up in Uncharted 4. I'm more of a campaign guy, and I heard that The Division's wasn't fleshed out because they focused too much on multiplayer.

@Kr08 - Bad end game support is what the problem was. Leveling up and the story was actually good and so was the combat.

Also.....Gyllenhaal should be Nathan Drake or Chris Evans.

Personally I think Prince of Persia was a pretty well done movie.

@n1ghtw1ng2832 - It has so much more potential but they just turned it into family drama.
